Vauxhall Corsa C - Warning light for engine electronics stays on - Kay20

The control indicator light for engine electronics and immobilizer remained on during a 80 mile journey hole last night and the acceleration was dipping now and then as if there was a blockage to the fuel line. I have arranged to pass this old but usually reliable and well maintained car on for £250 in the next couple of weeks and so don't want to be confronted with a large bill. Any advice on the cause of the problem and what a solution might be?

Possibly a catalytic (exhaust) or an air flow issue, thus requiring a new air flow meter (or a second hand one ).

I would say for about £30-£40 to have your car go into a auto-electrician and have your codes read (if any) and it should identify exactly what the issue is.

But im sure other members will have different opinion?
