hey ive gota a 1.2 8v 95' corsa....this morning it started but it was juddering like a misfire then it cut out tried three or four times but nothing left it because i had work, just got home started it nothing tried again and it struggled still giving a juddering gave it a few revs to about 2,000rpm then it seemed to settle, bit dangerous but left the engine running and took the individual coils out from the spark plug i was getting a spark from each one and when i took each one out it seemed to misfire...
seen as it started it let me to believe theres fuel getting threw so no need to disconnected a fuel pipe to see if there was a blockage or anything..
the cam belt seems to be on its way i know so im going to try and get that changed tomorow its making a lot of noice...
also did a midtronics (sp) test too see if the battery would have been going flat or drawing too much, but it says its a good battery
did a paper clip test too and there was no faults showing so it seems to be something mechanical..
sorry about essay but i know more information is better than hardly any..
cheers
