Have got an X reg zafira 1.8 comfort. Fault code 0170 has come up and I don't know what this means. The car has also been sluggish since the light/fault appeared and I have to let it run for 5 minutes when i first start because it cuts out if i try to drive it. revs are low too. i need to drive from derbyshire to london on friday and back again and i don't want to go if the car is broken. Please help and let me know what my husband can do to try to fix it. I have googled this but nowhere gives me a clear course of action to take to fix problem.
