I have a 2000 model corsa 160i, and sometimes it battles to start(but always get it to).
The engine swings perfectly, so not a battery problem. It happens on cold and hot start, but like I said ...sometimes.
Other times it will start perfectly. Any suggestions for where to start?
I'm thinking its a fuel problem, as when swinging, it will fire a few times before coming fully to life.
Once running, there are no problems.

Have you changed anything already? I'd probably try some plugs as a first attempt.

Does it only happen when it's damp?

@ Ian I've changed spark plugs, plug leads and the ignition"coil" pack.
@ nibnob, dry, wet, hot weather, cold weather, day or night.
