As above for the past week the corsa has had a intermitting problem sometimes when I pull out from a junction or if on say a 30 road and try to pull off it will splutter and hold back for a couple of seconds then take off its sound on motorways and I've noticed that when it dose this and it gets me a bit mad and I give it some then drop down to a low speed and pull off its fine. In the last 1000 mile its had plugs done, leads done, oil and filter change and new fuel filter. I've had plugs out and there look the right color (tanned) because my first thought was overfueling as would clear if I gave it some so any ideas people

Do you have a cone filter on it? They don't like heat soak. try a standard airbox or enclosed insuction kit.
This sorted mine.
Also, check for air leaks around the TB area.

That's my filter shouldn't get any warm air with a cold air feed plus I've had it almost 4 year now with that filter and its been fine before.
