Hello
The Mrs has a corsa b x10xe and its very flat and hesitant. The exhaust manifold gasket is leaking too. Plugged the car into op com and i am getting an o2 fault or lambda, can't remember. Someone said this could be caused by the leaking exhaust?
I thought these engines mainly had problems with the afm and icv causing them to hesitate?
Also are these manifolds prone to cracking?
Thanks

Exhaust gasket leak will introduce air which causes the lambda fault, that'll be your EML.
Whether that cures the hesitance remains to be seen but get the light off first.

unplug the afm, see if it's still hesitant? it will lack power with the afm unplugged but it should still be smooth.

i had a leak at the inlet manifold gasket on my old astra, it ran like a total dog, replace the gasket 1st, i always go for the cheapest option 1st

Thanks chaps. I read the X10XE manifolds are prone to cracking?
Can't see any cracks ontop, I will remove it anyway and tried the gasket first as suggested.
Thanks
