I am having a couple of problems with my corsa engine. I bought the car resently and it has been sat outside not moving for quite some time.

I have put new fuel and some redex in it and i can turn the key and it is sounding like it is just on the edge of starting it sounds so close but jsut wont get there.

It did start once before but sounded like it was going to drop off when i put my foot down.

My thought are that the igintion system is gone (sounds like it is firing on max of 2 cylinders.

Just wanna make sure before i go replacing all the stuff whether you guys has some ideas?
