My brothers 52 plate astra 1.8 16v TC light came on today. Then later on the EML came on. (guessing this is due to the TC?) now it struggles to start?

sometimes it'll start and drive fine.

Two different issues I'm guessing?

Also, WHY THE FOOK HAS A PISSING GUTLESS N/A 1.8 GOT TC?!!

Thanks for any help

UPDATE -

I read the car today, came up with Engine speed sensor. Obviously that is why is struggles to start sometimes. Then I went into Traction Control, and it came up 'Engine Torque reducer malfuction'

Both the TC light and EML come on at the same time, is there any way the engine speed senor can cause the TC light to come on?

Thanks.
