1995 Vauxhall Corsa Arizona - Engine Light
Discussion
Not sure this is the right place to post this, apologies if so. Whenever I start my engine it cuts out after about 2 minutes of driving or whilst idle accompanied by an engine light. I have replaced the battery as my local garage ran a test and it was basically knackered, but my car is still doing the same. Do you guys have any ideas??
If it starts fine when cold but then dies when warmed up then it could be the coil on the way out - A 95 Corsa prob won't be too old to have a diagnostic system it just probably isn't OBDII that the garage is used to. locate the plug - it'll either be a 10 pin ALDL plug or a 16 pin OBD2 plug either under the bonnet or in the fuse box. Vauxhalls are a pain in the arse to read codes from and most code readers won't read the ECUs (Why they couldn't run a standard OBDII system like nearly all other manufacturers is beyond me) - Try a vauxhall specialist with the right equipment or try finding a cheap vauxhall/GM code reader on Amazon
A garage with a snap on diagnostic reader such as a solus will be able to read the codes on older cars, as long as they have the right personality keys and adapter.
Also there should be a process to flash out the codes on the dash using a paper clip test as mentioned above. I would also agree that the sudden cutout is probably a cam or crank sensor.
