Corsa B 1.2 ; I have a very intermitent problem. When i pull away sumtimes I have to put my foot down or it feels like it's gona stall. Then when drivin along in any gear it chuggs. By this i mean it feels like when i put my foot on the gas there is nothing there,
It almost feels like some1 is pullin the car back  Have tried replacing a few things but still no luck. Any suggestions most appreciated as gonna have to spend loads puttin it in a garage otherwise

the lack of power is due to the 1.2 engine 
sounds like it cud be mis-firing but change ya plugs/leads and go from there

Nope, and tried all the simple stuff. Was just wondering if anyone had any ideas or similar problems really not asking for a miracle cure.
Will no doubt be goin to the garage 
Thanks anyways
