Where in the Engine bay do I find it?
And also... Would the Air Flow Meter affect the rev's on start up?

The air flow meter usually causes problems such as a lack of power under acceleration. Such as when you go to pull off, the power just dies and then jerks back in a few seconds later.
This is on a 1.2 16v - not sure if its the same on others 
Hope it helps

Not sure if you can remove it, Id say it was there for a purpose.
I dont think it is like the EGR and blanking that off.

That is exactly where it is in a 12v.
I got this u2u from Warren.g, who works at Vauxhall, as I'm having a few problems.

IAC - ilde up and down and will cut out on slowing down
