Corsa 1.2i 16v When im driving my car it seems fine, I sit in traffic or at traffic lights then when i go to pull off there seems to be a dip in power then it springs back into life. Does anyone know what is causing this?

Do you have an induction kit? If so it will be heat soak that's causing the flat spots. Put your original airbox back on and see if the problem is cured.

same happens here but in the hot weather with an iduction kit it struggles at low rpm go out at 10:30 at night see if it happens then if i was you i would keep running your induction kit or alternatively drill you air box with a k and panel filter. If it starts getting worse change your AFM because thats what it will be i think mine i gonna need changeing soon. Also your spark plugs could be on their way out so give it a service
