if a c16xe engine revs drop a litlle say to 800prm then it either revs upto 3k then down to 1k and idle
or
cuts out

is this what i think it is?

It will be the ICV. Cost about £65 new I think from vauxhall. Be less from www.autovaux.co.uk

Take it out and clean it.

I cant see why the coolent temp sensor would do this. You'd get other symptoms first.
