I've currently got a 12 plate corsa SRi 1.4, last night when I was driving it home the engine management light started flashing, and when I was pulling away in 3rd it started holding back and then pulling away again, like a sort of judder. If I have my foot flat to the floor it starts going then it wont go passed a certain rev, then it takes off again! The only way I can describe it is like a sever miss fire. If I'm cruising at 70, I put my foot flat and it takes a few seconds to actually start pulling away, and seems asif if it just holds back for a second then pulls away, on and off for half a second at a time. But now its happening in all gears, and the engine management light is on constantly now. Car is only a year and a half old! Can any one help on this one?

Thanks in advance!

Should be. Id take it to Vauxhall and see what the problem is instead of keep driving it.

The warranty still counts. It's the standard manufacturers warranty on the car.

Unsure what vauxhalls is now. It was lifetime (100,000 miles) I believe, but only for the first owner. It'll most likely be a standard 3 year one.
