Well it is actualy my girl friends car but i need help either way as "its my job to fix it" . Please please please can some one help me
Its a 1.2 16v SXI Corsa (B) 1999
HISTORY
Had the car now just over a year and have had all the common problems: Crank shaft sensor, Oil pressure switch & EGR Valve
PROBLEM
The car is acting very funny it turns over first time every time with no help from the throttle and idles spot on, however as soon as the throttle is pressed (with any sort of pressure) the car will splutter and try to cut out. Some time lets off a loud bang from inside the inlet.
The car has been getting gradually worse to the point it is now undrivable.
On first inspection i thought it was the airflow meter so changed (at an extortionate price ). this did not make any difference whatsoever.
My girlfriend had mentioned the engine management light came on "every now and again" so i proceeded to plug in the diagnostics machine. This brought up a Lamber sensor fault (02 sensor). i know this means the mixture is wrong and this confirmed my suspicion (of a mixture fault) i then purchased a lamba sensor and fitted, with no joy the car still failed to rev....
After some research on the Internet told me there maybe a air leak from the inlet manifold gasket, this evening i have striped the inlet back and removed to find the gaskets are perfect with no signs of were or perforation.
I am no stuck for ideas and wondered if any of you guys had the same problem or may know what the resolution is???
look forward to your response, as i am sick of getting up half an hour early to take my girlfriend to work every morning 
Thank Ben

CTS would cause fueling issues and it's only £10 to replace.
Worth a shot?
