Recently My Corsa 1.2 16v Has Been Having Issues With The Engine Light Coming On,

This Normally Happens If I Have To Build Up Speed Quickly Like Coming Off Slip Road Onto Motorway Or When I Am Going Up A Hill Etc,

I Lose Power For A Few Seconds Then It Comes Back Very Weird Never Happened Before....

Any Idea's?

Cheers Dan

AFM, my old 1.2 16v B used to do it, foot down, lack of power, EML on, EML off, woosh away it went. New AFM sorted it.

No fault codes will be stored

Thank You Fella's, Sounds Like Both Of You Have Described Exactly What Happens Thank You Pow And Jed D
So What Would You Suggest Then New Spark Plugs And AFM Does That Stand For Air Mass Flow Meter?
How Much Does The Air Mass Flow Cost?

You can pick up 2nd hand ones for around £30, but 9 time out of 10 this wont cure the problem, your better of buying a GM part or an equiverlant with same quailty.

Yer hap end to my car as well change the air flow meter and plugs it sorted mine out also can be the lambor sensor but try the othe 2 first. The reason you loose power is coz it is going into limp mode so the belts don't slip off. Hope this helps
