I purchased my new car yesterday and already I have a problem.

I noticed it usually happens when flooring it between 1st, 2nd and 3rd. The orange Engine Electronics light comes on and stays on whilst driving (when you turn the engine off and then on it goes).

Wat could this be, as apparently the dealer had it sorted out as it happened during test drive and that was not going above 40mph.

The car is a 1997 R Corsa B 1.6 16v sport. has 58k on.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Could be the EGR valve as these are common things on these that go. Needs checking on a vaux tech2 or a quick check on a snap on one

Dont start guessing about the EM light mate, get it hooked up to the Vaux diagnostics machine or else you'll be paying out loads following up all of the guesses.

Unless you get lucky that it
