Hi, I bought a 1998 corsa 1.2 sxi yesterday for my first car  test drove it and it was perfect so handed over the cash driving home on the motorway the car had just warmed up then the engine management light came on and wouldnt go anyfaster took my foot of the accelerator and it went off, it does this alot when i put my foot down, when it does happen 9-10 times it at roughly 3,000 revs. When the car is just started you can put the foot down but as soon as it warms up the light comes on over and over again. Ive saw on the net ALOT of people have had this problem but so far have not found a geniune answer, Could anyone help me out?

Possibly crank sensor, they're known for failing and going open circuit when hot

Yeah the management light is just because the AFM's disconnected. Driving it should be fine, it won't be running at it's best but it's just to find out if it still cuts out so shouldn't cause any problems
