[MasterAuron]

I always said you Wirral lot were weird.

 

[pgarner]

hey and welcome.

1st guess would be because its a vauxhall end of
2nd guess would be to check the MAF
3rd would be the throttle body

honestly i would put it down to vauxhall for putting a underpowered engine 70hp in a car that weighs 1270 - 1325 kg (info of wiki)

Does anything come up on a diagnostic (error codes?)

check crank sensor,throttle body needs taking apart and cleaning mabe.Get the 2.5 V6 dropped in then it might go quicker i had the 1.8 2 years ago til the gearbox blew apart.

me the citizen of earth saying to you hello and welcome to
TC.
maybe the earth cars are better than your space vehicles....

check crank sensor

I was gonna say the same thing.
I had a 2.0 Sri a while ago and it had similar probs. Turned out to be the crank sensor.
