Hi everyone, I have a 2002 model Mk4 Astra SXI (1.6i)

I have a slight problem with it, since I had it serviced last year it's been misfiring every since, but it's got worse over the last month of so.

It seems to feel like I'm running out of petrol type of misfire, it does it in all gears just when I hover on the gas pedal, and last week I was in the 3rd lane of the motorway when the emissions light just came on, but It had been doing the "jerking" as I call it before the light come on, the light stayed on for 2 days then went off, and then come back on again two days later then off again the same day.

I'm only assuming it's either down to the spark plugs or fuel filter or there's water in the fuel or something.

But since I have no idea about cars, I just wondered if anyone knew what it might be or had this happen to them.

I'm going to take it in Vauxhall next week, but I wanted a rough idea on what the cause might be.

Cheers

Pete
