My c20xe (astra gte) cut off yesterday when I started it from cold. Started up fine afterwards, but if i try to drive it when its cold it will cut out unless I give it alot of revs - which i dont by the way, just let it warm up.

Any ideas folks?

i would go with the CTS sensor then, its the blue one that sits under the thermostat to the left of the exhaust manifold, it will have 2 wires goin to it, to test it you will need to get a multimetre and read the resistance but for the sake 7 quid from your local car spares i would just swap it as it sound like all the correct symptoms of a dodgy CTS sensor

Will it just look like an open circuit if it's knackered?

Cheers mate, was just curious...

CTS did take a fair knock when the engine was dropping in
