my astra 2.0 turbo Design splutters when the accelerator pedal is in certain positions, it only happens when driving, when in neutral it revs fine, it doesn't happen at any paticular rpm, if im light footed on the throttle i can get it up to high revs without spluttering, when it starts to splutter the engine managment light comes on and then it runs rough through the whole rev range, if i stop the engine and start it again it runs fine again until it happens again.
