If the engine is stalling , clean / replace idle air control valve and clean throttle body .

I have come across many Vauxhall gremlins in the past. Most seem to point to the engine loom connector, mostly found on the back of the engine or on top opposite the cambelt. This link box has to be sent away to be repaired. Also the dash clocks are a bad fit and pushing the clocks inwards makes a better connection
