Engine shuts down while driving

Four cylinder two wheel drive manual.

Hi,

Sometimes whilst driving my Opel Corsa it will just cut out. All the lights on my panel will then flash on (oil, battery, engine, etc), all electronics would still be working though. I would wait several minutes then start the car and it would be fine for about ten seconds, cut out again and then when I start the car it works fine for the rest of my trip. It does not happen all the time only every now and then I think it could be some malfunctioning electronic component.

Yeah, the light still stays on. Where is the plug located though? Thanks a lot.

Yeah, I did some trouble shooting, a lot of Corsas' have this problem, it is not the CPS it is the fuel relay switch. CPS problems are only associated with heat, but generally they either work or they do not. They cannot not work every now and then.

When I am driving and go to slow down the car just seems to cut out and shuts off. If I leave it for a while the car will restart and drive for a short distance only to cut out again.

My car cuts out after driving for about fifteen minutes. It will not start again for five to ten minutes. It seems when engine warms up problem starts. I have been told it is some sort of sensor. Please help!

Hi all, just want to help you right here, crank shaft sensor or as we know it pulse magnet, cant cause this issue, it works or it does not work. Car wont fire at all if its faulty, I agree on one thing check crank shaft pulley key way, timing, and fuel relay. Best to see what causes the issue is to run the car till it cuts off. Open bonnet see left of fuel rail is a bleeding valve to check fuel pressure, when valve is pressed it should have pressure, if not replace fuel relay and voila!

Hi, I have a 1999 opel corsa 1.6i. The engine runs well and suddenly it stalls without warning or******** - wait 30 seconds and all is well - then 2 days later the same scenario - no warning, only a engine cut-out - 30 seconds later all is well. What can it be - thanks

Hi,

I had similar issues with my 2000 Corsa 1.6 GLS. First we changed the Ignition Coil (choke), then removed the door-locking computer, But problem recurs after couple of months. Check your Fuses and Electric circuits/ wires regularly, or it might impact your Ignition Power booster module or whatever its called, is like a second computer chip which takes inputs from Crank shaft angle sensor and engine speed, and decides how much Voltage to supply to the ignition plug(s) - it seems Corsa has 4 of the plugs and Astra has a single one so I was told. The imported price of this module can be humungous depending on the country. If it is bypassed, then car moves in slow motion and cant pick up higher speeds. Can someone corroborate this and tell what is the actual NAME of this component/ module and its price in India; where can I get it at reasonable price?

1998 Opel Corsa V12 Front Wheel Drive Manual 65000m miles

I bought a 1998 1.0 12v corsa last week but it cuts out whil driving for no reason at all, all the lights (handbrake, oil, battery etc)turn on and then everything switches off, I hav to wait a few mins before it starts again, sometimes this happens twice a day, im only going for short local journeys, any idea why this is?

(i dont know if it is a front wheel drive, im 17 and its my first car but I know im doing everything right)
