Vauxhall Corsa engine management light intermittant / lumpy engine

Car: Vauxhall Corsa
Variant: 1.4 Sport
Model Year: 1996
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
As title, when I first start the car, the engine is lumpy and the engine management light comes on..... rev it for a bit and the light goes out and the lumpiness is reduced but still there (could be just a slow tickover)

Seems to me it could be something small, what should I check?? I am thinking spark plus, possible tracking on HT leads, anyone had anything similar before I take to a expensive garage, (short of cash atm)

It is my daughters car so I am only going by what she said, I went out there just now, started it myself (its already hot) it was ok... then it went lumpy with engine management light on.

Cheers Phil.

Sounds like coil pack or egr valve
