i dunno what is wrong with it now.
first it was playing up so i got it checked out and it was the lambda sensor.
so i changed that, but the euc light kept coming on. i went back to the garage and got the ecu wiped of the fault codes. it now feels really week when i gets to high revs ( it sometimes strugles to get to the redline in 2nd) and in the morning i start it and its really jumpy and has trouble reving up at all. the ecu light doesnt come on and i havnt got a clue what to do next. btw is a corsa b 1.2 16v ecotec and its a w reg

In what way was it playing up? Misfiring? Have you changed the plug's and lead's? Maybe disconnecting the battery for an hour so the ECU can reset may help too.

my local garage reconds it might be the coil pack put its expenseive to change. do you think it might be that? i have changed the plugs to see if it is them but has made no real difference. the dignostic is still saying lambda sensor

Check earths
Common problems on these engines are
Air Flow Meter
Coil Pack
Idle Stepper Motor (think its called)
I would hazard a guess at it being one of them 3, do you have a mate with the same engine who you could swop parts over with?
