You have the checks that Marcorvett points, if that is correct what can be checked is the coil, these are usually heated above all if the contact is ignored (on the dashboard lights on), it should not be heated in excess, it is appropriate to perform a component test by reviewing with multitester the resistance of the primary coil 0.6 ohm and secondary Chevy Corsa, but should walk close to these values.
The coils are also heated when the wiring and /or spark plugs have too much resistance, this makes the primary load time rise and generate temperature.
Test with spark plugs without resistance something like Champion 9yc, but first check how the CKP says in the beginning.
