Wondering if anyone could help.
I went for a drive earlier and when i put my foot down in any way my car seem's to stutter, and not pull away properly.
I went to my local autopart's store, and they said it could be sparc plug's/leads or the dizzy? (i dont even know what a dizzy is). Dunno if anyone can help, i really know bugger all about this kinda stuff.
I dont wanna go out and spend £40 on a new set of sparcs and leads if it isnt gunna solve it.
My dad recon's it could be the fuel filter?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ohh, and i Drive a 1.2i Corsa B.

It maybe an indication to a head gasket failure.
Check the water levels and if it's low, top it up and monitor it the next few days.

very unlikely to be the fuel filter imo.

ohh dear, If the head gasket goes it takes out the engine with it, doesnt it?
I will check the fluid level's.
Any other thoughts?

I checked water level's, no problems at all.
I think im gunna do a full service.
Spark's/leads/dizzy/oil change etc..
Hopefully one of those will sort it, i havent serviced my car in ages anyways, needs to be done.
Other than this i dont know waht to do
