Very useful fella. I changed my daughters 1.4 corsa yesterday. It has transformed it. 2 cylinders were affected by bad corrosion . Excellent call. £106 from euro car parts. 5 minutes to fit, but a year of engine light coming on. Vauxhall should recall for clearly failing to resolve this issue.

[@gavinguitar2194]

Thanks to people like you on YT, I now have the confidence to sort what I think may be an issue with the ignition coil. The car shudders sometimes in 1st. Also looses power (slow to respond) if changing gear to 2nd; especially up hill. At times, I have to pump the ecelerater or change back down to 1st. Many thanks for your video. Subbed & look forward to more content. 👍

Top man thanks for sharing, just had my car diagnosed by auto Plaza in west London with head gasket needed replaced and few other bits up the exhaust. Paid £1800 and as I got it, I experienced this issue 10 minutes after I drove off from their garage. They were like it shouldn't be any problems at all. Don't know what to think, either being ripped off, unlucky or just being idiot. Wouldn't be surprised if they'll ask again for some enormous amount of money for this issue when I'll drive back in tomorrow

Thanks for the vid. Just doing a service on a 2011 corsa d. It's only done 20k miles but doing the plugs I notice number 4 is covered in white powder substance & corrosion. Pulling the rubber boots off and the other 3 are nice and clean but 4 is totally covered with the ends of the spring completely corroded . Can only assume water is making its way into number 4 cyl only. Have a new coil ordered from AutoVaux for £87 which doesn't seem a bad price for the same Delphi part as the one in the vid.

Fantastic tutorial.Thank you so much for amazing video.May i ask a question? My Corsa D 1.4 (2013) sometimes jerking,slightly shaking, refusing to accelerate, service light and check engine lightcomes on. The problem only occurs when engine is cold.After a 10 minute drive, it never show up again. Or if i shut down the car, and start it again, the problem goes away too. The mechanic said to me there is no misfire, the fault code said 'acceleretor pedal sensor ' issue. But i am suspecting that my issue somewhat related with ignition/misfire.Is there any possibility that a misfire can cause these semptoms when cold but goes away when engine reaches operating temretures?

The hexagons on the old plugs look rust-free, i don't think it failed due to water infiltrations. Anyway i have a 2003 Z12XE Agila and a few days ago i'd been checking things and letting the A/C pump run for a short while, with the hood open. Heard a distinct click while the engine idled and i'm sure it wasn't the AC clutch or the rad fan relay. 70k miles and the Bosch coil pack has never been replaced (only the plugs, last time has been about 2 years and 3k miles ago, Russian made Bosch FLR8LDCU+ ones). Feels slightly jerky, especially when the engine is warm and under load, but the EML never gets on and there are no pending codes either, and idle looks fairly stable. I've also cleaned the MAF and the throttle body, and replaced the pre-cat O2 sensor, but it still feels jerky. I'll replace the coil pack soon.

[@aaanton11]

sounds a plan, Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@teravolt6113]

@@aaanton11 Update. I was right. It occasionally misfired on the 1st cylinder. Changed both the spark plugs (used the newest Champion RC10DMC4, Vauxhall part number 95519055, which the Vauxhall dealer gave me) and the coil pack (used a Huco 133816) and now the car drives so much better. Spark gap looks a sharp 1mm on all old Bosch plugs, and they're in about normal condition (no signs of oil fouling, only a tiny amount of carbon), so it definitely wasn't a serious misfire. One sparkplug, the one that looks the most carbon fouled among the others, seems to have a tiny interrupted carbon ring on the ceramic. Keep in mind that the P0301 fault code showed only on a professional code reader. My Viecar CY300 missed it completely and the CEL didn't light up. But the ride was still jerky nonentheless.

I got misfiring on my corsa rac said it could be spark plugs or battery they changed the spark plugs and said I needed a rocker gasket cover aswell so did that for a new battery fitted aswell it did run better after however I still have misfiring and the gears lose power sometimes and it really struggles in low gears.my rear engine mount was also broken so the car was shaking while idle and I had an oil leak. I had someone else look at it he ran diagnostic he said cylinder 3 was not running as it should 80 when the other cylinders were all fine at like 200-240. he wanted to take the engine apart to investigate further and to charge me a full days labour £550! So I said no as the car only worth 1000 and have already spent £480 on repairs. Halfords said to replace the coil pack and fix the oil so I’m going to try that and hope it works and passes the MOT as the misfiring makes it fail on emissions. I did change the engine mount so it doesn’t shake anymore!

Ever since I replaced my coil pack on same model it stalls out when at running temperature. It will start again after about 20 min. Could it be the 50 quid cheap coil pack instead of a good Delphi or could it be the plug connector pins expanding when getting warm causing bad connection thanks.

[@aaanton11]

most likely to be a faulty coil pack, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

@@aaanton11 thanks for your reply. I will buy a decent coil pack.

I have a Corsa D 2010 1.4. On idle the revs keep on falling below 500 and then back up to about 700. Repeatedly. Acceleration in the first gear feels sluggish. MPG has dropped. Could this be the coil pack?

[@JunaidKhan-mj8rp]

Also when I turn the headlights on, wipers on full speed or heaters on max speed, the RPM seems to fluctuate below 500 and above 500? I’d really appreciate if you could tell me what the problem is. Thanks

[@aaanton11]

sounds more like a throttle body issue, a good clean might work wonders, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@kxrrzy]

So my car is a corsa d and it starts jerking when I let go of acceleration even a little will this be the same thing do you think ? I have had my car for 3 weeks I’m a new driver

[@aaanton11]

New spark plugs first, then do a eobd code check to see if there is another issue you will need a code reader something like kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWHSeJ9to7iErJo Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@BrooksterMax]

Yes the Focus 1.6 MK2 could have the same issue caused by leaky washer jets.

Yes there are similar faults with other vehicles as well Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

if the coil was completely broke, would it show an error code?

would you say this was the same with the 1.0T version? i bought one second hand and it doesnt feel like its running anywhere near the way it should. ive been told it could be the Balancer Shaft in the engine and the garage i took it to replaced the coil pack and plugs as far as i know but didnt seem to make a difference.

I have changed the coil pack (HAAS) from euro car parts and all four spark plugs (Bosch) but it’s still misfiring, than engine light came on. Took it to local garage and the diagnostic picked up backbox pressure 🤷‍♂️😅 Anyways, they didn’t manage to solve it and problem still persists. Any ideas on what the problem might be please?

140 pound seems a lot for the coil pack, did mine for 40 quid . Works fine.

[@aaanton11]

Yes it is the more expensive coil but its branded, and is the same as fitted as original with proven reliability, there are lower priced coils like you say but in my experience they only last a couple of years at most, the coil pack sits right in the top of the engine where its really hot so it has a tough job to do. if you don't intend keeping the car for longer than year the cheap coil is great, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
