Hello.

You must put the engine size when asking a question

Best regards

What is a Daewoo Cielo? Is it a 1.5? I got a meaning from vauxhall reference which is Engine control module ignition signal. It may be relevant.It would also help if you told us what is the actual running problem with the car? Has it got a distributor with built in hall sender and amplifier or is it seperate?

engine size is 1.5, car is still surging the same as the original problem, petrol pump also been checked no problem....Karen

just to add to the question about the dist cap, no the hall sender and the amplifier are separate...karen

I can't confirm what flash code 42 means,so take the car to someone with the right tools and knowledge if I was you.

I've got nothing on 42, Karen. You're going to have to bite the bullet, I'm sorry to say. If you continue to run it, without it being checked, you may well end up paying out far more than you expected.
