Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
My Corsa is suffering from the following problem, a bit difficult to start in the morning, goes kangarro jumping, till warmed up, running around town no problems, go on a longer journey, ie; out of town/duel carriage/motorway, and i go over say 60, the engine warning lamp will come on, and i lose power, ie; foot to the floor, and the car will not respond, cut back on the revs, and the light will go out, and thats at under 60 mph, i have had a brand new coil pack fitted, and this has obviously made no difference at all, what should i try next???

Get a diagnostic scan carried out to see what triggered engine management light rather than guess .

could possibly be the crank position sensor which is easy to fit and costs about £18.00
