More problems with my old car 
The corsa hasnt moved in about 6 weeks (since getting the beeza), Dad took it to work yesterday and it misbehaved, took it to a mates garage today and it was the most awful ride ive ever had 
Basically, ive replaced the AFM with a new one from ebay, got rid of the ECU light and holding back but now it likes to "misfire" and judder when driving (completely random).
My mate had it on the ECU reader, Had two problems, O2 sensor and MAF (AFM). But the readings for the O2 sensor were fine and the AFM ones were all over the place. Drove it home with the AFM unplugged and it held back when pulling off and driving, but no juddering. Also he says the connections round the AFM are a bit loose.
Just put it away in the garage and now it wont idle. You start it, it struggles and then dies. Have to rev it to keep it going. Also, the ECU light came on for a little bit but went off when I reved it to put it away. The idle has now gone quite lumpy as well, dipping and going to die sometimes (doesnt sound smooth).
Please advise me on what to replace, fix or do please. Please bear in mind im on a budget money i extreamly tight.
Thanks in advance people.
