I have a 55reg corsa 1.2 thats beginning to struggle when idle. It ticks over at its normal 600rpm and every 30-60secs or so it'll try and cut out before returning to idle. My thought is that it could be a sensor, or fuel injection thing. If you have any suggestions or ideas of other possible causes I would be grateful.

Check the IAC (idle air control) valve is working correctly and check the wiring to the valve also remove and clean the MAF (mass airflow) sensor ... add a good fuel cleaner to the tank to clean the fuel lines and injectors !! hope this helps
