no it isnt a nova, its a corsa!

but no point asking mechanical advise on corsasport lol

when cornering hard in my corsa GSi and i step on the throttle it kinda splutters a bit. never had this before, anyone got any ideas?

my fuel tank only ever has about 15 quid in it lol do you think it could just be the fuel sloshing away from the pick-up?

ive herd sumert about stepper motors on corsa being the cause off spluttering ect. but im on jumping to conclusions on what ive been told and have herd so dont quote me on it im no mechanic im a tyre and exhaust fitter !

check TPS sensor/connection. sounds like it isnt allowing transient load sensing and accelleration enrichment.

could be a FP issue also check vac hoses and crank breathers PCVs

Is it running carbs?

very much doubt it.

Service it & report your findings.
