Corsa D - Sluggish acceleration on Start Up - Pkat3

Hello,

Got a 64 plate Corsa D (probably one of the last D types to be made) which has a 1L petrol engine. Bought it 14 months old and had no major issues with it. it's only done a total of 23000 miles, and only 9000 over the 3.5 years since we have had the car (wife's),

Yesterday and today I noticed that on start up the acceleration in 2nd and 3rd gear is sluggish. After driving for around a minute the problem goes away. I suspected a faulty MAF sensor as my old Corsa D exhibited a similar issue but after trawling various forums for 30 minutes I've not been able to confirm this (perhaps I need to improve my search terms and search for longer!).

Any advice most welcome!

Thanks.

Possible spark plug or coil pack issue? Don’t think the Corsa D petrol has a Maf sensor.

Thanks for comments.

Should've said that once the car is warm problem disappears. Also when starting after being idle for 1-2 hours problem does not occur.
