1998 Vauxhall Corsa loss of power

Car: Vauxhall Corsa
Year: 1998
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
When i drive for a short distance there seems to be a problem (it feels like a blockage in the fuel line) but after a few min its gone. after a longer drive there is no power when asking the car to increase speed, it will get there in the end but takes time

What year is the corsa and how many miles have you got on it? Has the corsa had a replacement fuel filter as yet? Have you replaced the air mass meter or other known as air mass sensor before?

I believe I have the same problem with my corsa. Plugged the computer in on saturday which displayed error code p0170 which I am to believe is the MAF o2 sensor connected to the air filter. Apparently a comon fault.
