Mine would loose power at random if I needed to accelerate harshly. My mechanic then did an ECU scan which revealed 02 lamdba low voltage. I was not convinced the lambda sensor was faulty though and suspected the MAF. I did a lot of research onto this and came to that the conclusion that if the MAF is faulty Lamdba 02 low voltage is a very common fault code.
I then went and bougnt myself a Bosch MAF I got for £86 fro LMF (Vauxhall want £250 for these) and wow the results are just amazing. Now done over 600 miles since I fitted and not so much as a single mis fire since. Its only a 64bhp engine (1.2 16v) but in 3rd it has so much acceleration it often puts a smile on my face. Before even when it wasn't randomly loosing power it never felt very fast, now it feels very nippy.
Its the best £86 I've ever spent on a car.
I am not saying yours is the MAF but if the error code indicates lean mixture you could suspect it.
Also avoid the cheap ebay MAFs, they cause all sorts of running problems on the 16v Corsas, I've known people suspect the MAF first, replace it with a cheap one no difference, then they replace all the other sensors still the same, they then try a Bosch MAF and it fixes it.

just replaced my maf 99 1.2. with ebay copy£28. it fixed the eml light issue, but caused aflat spot from stationary. rep;aced with second hand bosch one, and its running much better. my mechanic did tell that would happen but i like to take the gamble with a pattern part as i feel the orignal parts dont seem to last very long
