ok seen as everyone is telling you other stuff.......... first of all what engine is it? if it is the sport engine then it's possible either your idle control valve or your EGR valve simply because what you have described sounds exactly the same as what happened to me and i can tell you now that Vauxhall will charge you a fortune to fix it . If you find that this is the problem give me a u2u and ill give you a contact number of a garage that will sort it for a third of the price and yeah i am moving this into the help zone mate sorry

Dav had the same problem to you. He took to a garage and got told it was the airflow meter. He got one for £70, fitted it himself and his car seems fine now.
