Ideally you need to get the codes read.

I've had the same problem on mine for about 2 months but mine is at 60mph which is a bit of a pain in the rear. My codes were for the MAF sensor which i've replaced, EGR valve which i've cleaned and its working as it should, and injector pump and if its that the car will be scrapped ;D

If your code is for the maf sensor let me know, I have a new one at half the price that Vauxhall will charge you  :y

Clean out all the inlets, check live data on MAF and inlet pressure.
