Acceleration problems when car warm . . .

2000 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0 12v manual

Car: Vauxhall Corsa
Year: 2000
Variant: 1.0 12v manual

Categories: Engine & Drivetrain

Initially the car hesitated when trying to set off. The mass air flow meter was changed, the lambda sensor, coil pack module, full new exhaust system, the manifold was cracked along with the cat but both have been welded. Now the problem isnt as bad and seems limited to when the car is warm, it isnt as often either but following a full service we were hoping the problem would be fixed . . . . any ideas?!!

full service usually does the job but see what happens after the full service then come back

this sounds like the same problem as im having, mine sometimes again at lights seems to want to die unless i give it loads of revs. is yours the same??? does it feel like its kicking a bit when you are driving at a steady speed too???
