I have an Opel Vectra, 1999 model, 2.0,16V.

First, for a while now I v been having cold start in the morning. Car starts once but dies off immediately unless you push the throttle pedal lightly. When about to move, it stalls repeatedly.

But when engine get warm, it doesn't stalls. RPM also very low(at times, below 500).Also noticed fuel consumption a bit high. I once did a scan and it says camshaft position sensor. Another, coolant temperature voltage high.[color=#990000][/color]

Secondly, also noticed the dashboard lights goes off immediately while driving, power window stop working and car becomes too heavy,i.e lack of power . It could barely climb a little hill even with serious revs. When transmission is engaged into drive or reverse, it jerks. Took it to an electrician, he did something at the fuse area under the steering and car became normal only for it to return back to the above symptoms after a month.

What could cause these? Thanks for the expected response.

Harsh to say...... But you might have to start considering scrapping this opel..... It's unfortunately got to the ripe age of retirement.....
