air flow meter or idle air control valve, although havin said that when i had a similar problem with mine it was a split in the pipe that runs after the air flow meter into the induction.
beardy corsa is a 2lt and he has the same problem and to see if its a split pipe try, disconnecting the ECU/reseting it, and for a few mins it will run fine, if this is so its the airflow or IACV. failing that rev engine with bonnet up and listen for it sucking air

Common problem with vectras !!
Remove idle air control valve and clean out with carb cleaner/thinners
Unblock throttle body breather (follow thin rubber pipe from back of rocker cover down to throttle body - probably blocked at throttle body end - drill out with 1/8 drill bit
Clean out throttle body with carb cleaner/thinners
If u know some one at a Vx main dealers - get them 2 reprogram ecu with latest software version and up the idle slightly
