Started my car as usual before, drove for about 5 miles and then it started spluttering.... not at any specific point throughout the rev range, just randomly for a millisecond then cleared up, started backfiring a little later on and then seemed to clear up after id driven about 100 miles home.... thought it was all a bit random, any ideas?

hmm would expect eml if it was egr etc.
However if it only happened for a split second the ecu may not have logged the fault as it didnt last long enough. Wouldnt worry tbh unless it does it again.

wheres the egr valve on the engine? and does this need replacing or fiddling with?
my corsa redtops spluttering only at very low revs when under load! i.e foot flat to the floor. your help on this would be great as i have cleanied all plugs up and distributor and done an oil change but still the same, ran some redex through it which has improved it slightly and car always runs better when warm cheers
thanks Jason
