2005 Vauxhall Astra loss of power on accelerator

could be coil pack or plugs playing up,what driving conditions does it happen at?

only happeneds at low speeds.would cleaning the fuel line and jets solve the promblem out

EGR valve is a common cause of this problem , here is an example of someone with same fault .

Right , all sorted , bought a new egr valve from the local motor factors for a quarter of the price , took the old one off and low and behold full of crap , give it clean out later on and keep it as a spare for someone , anyways , all sorted and drives a lot better and no kangerooing deffo going to give it a clean once in a while , my engine is a z16 xe by the way

oh and just for future refference the egr valves are different on this engine , one can be cleaned out and the other cant , if the sensor wiring plug is facing up it can be cleaned , if it sticks out the to side then it cant ! mine could but i bought it anyways ! hope this helps someone !
