i got my corsa on wednesday from a wee garage in the borders, and i was driving it last night, and this light came up on the dash, and i've no idea what it was coz i didn't get a hand book. it was orange and had a lightning bolt in it... and every now and then the power would just go, like when i was going steady at 60mph, it felt like i'd just jumped off the gas pedal. it's a 1999 1.2 sxi by the way! any ideas?! cheers!!

Needs to be a Vauxhall dealer unfortunately as they need to hook it up to Tech 2 to get a reading from your engine management system.

Yeah, but it could be a random electronics fault in the engine which would not be cleared/spotted in a standard engine service.

SOUNDS LIKE AN IDLE CONTROL VALVE OR MASS AIR FLOW, GET IT TO VAUX AND HAVE THE MONKEYS FIT IT...

check the fault code yourself rather than pay £25 for someone to do it for you

do a search on fault code, there is tonnes of shite on it
