have you looked at the throttle body this can jam sometimes and cause this problem. 0845 303 8667 is the number for mega vaux a specialist in new and secondhand vauxhall spares with all second hand garunteed for three months hope this helps griffen 52

It'll generally be the Idle control valve, it's a simple case of removing it and cleaning it up. It's a common problem with plenty of cars. The only other thing I can think of is the throttle position sensor
