    Hi
    nova 1.4i runs well but occasionally the engine management light comes on
    for a couple of seconds and the engine judders as if it could cut out ..but
    picks up and runs fine again. I only use the car for short journeys up to
    about 10 miles and this seems to hapen when the engine is warm. I'm a bit
    concerned it might cut out altogether sometime. now and then it is difficult
    to start when warm.
    any help advise would be great
    TIA

    pull the codes using the paperclip trick, but i'm pretty sure you'll find
    it's the crank (cam) sensor
    normal culprit

    thanks for that mike..what does pull the codes using the paperclip trick
    mean?
    I' m a bit of a DIY man with repairs.
    Does the crank (cam) sensor take much fitting?
