I have bought an astra mk4 1.8 SXI and the car engine is missing very badly and the engine managment light is on all the time. I have cleaned out the throttle body and this cured the missing for a while but now it seems that the problem is back. the car only seems to be missing when I am at idle and lazy on accelaration. I had the fault codes read once and it came up with the oxygen sensors, I had brand new ones fitted. If anybody knows how i can fix the engine missing issue which is I am sure linked to the engine management light being on constantly I would be very grateful.

One mechanic has said that my engine is surging I think he means using too much fuel
