it could be a number of things. i had the same problem and even vauxhall couldnt diagnose it. in the end i ended up disconnecting some of the electronic valves under the bonnet such as the air flow meter, idle control valve etc. it turned out to be the egr valve that was at fault on mine. try dissconecting a valve under the bonnet and take her for a spin and if it runs fine while its disconnected then its almost certain to be that particular valve. but oviously if its still the same recconect that valve and try another one and so on. let me know how u get on!!!
