is there many sensors round the water pump? as my mate was tightening up a slight water leek, and then when i drove it home, car was spluttering in low revs! then stalling! just didnt want to know! it was PERFECT before this!

the only sensors close to the water pump is the idle control valve or knock sensor

After about 6 times of taking it back to vauxhall it was solved...they claimed they replaced the ICV everytime but I reckon they just cleaned the old one...and put it back in...
Its a common fault to be honest...
