my corsa sport stuggle's to pick up any speed at all when it's cold. it splutter's and sound's like an old boat until it's warmed up. it's only done it these last couple of day's. i had the water pump and cam belt changed last thursday but it was fine until yesterday morning.

anyone have an idea?

many thank's

well you should drive it normally until the engine warms up then it should pick up speed !!!!

Maybe a service could be what your car needs mate?

there's only my screen wash that's low so it wont be that. i dont drive it hard,it wont pick up any speed at all. it was serviced about 4 week's ago. this happened on my old sxi but it happened any time,not just when cold.

got a mate with the same engine? sensor swapping is a good solution till you find a duff one maybe

might be the CTS (coolant temp sensor)
