Hi you might have damp in a switch try spraying some WD 40 on all the switch .under the throttle pedal I had a similar problem with a pergoet. But if the engine light is on get it scanned.

Sounds like a fault with the throttle body,
Many Vauxhalls need a throttle body reset when the battery is changed.
Not sure if your engine size is covered but when Vaux software is run the option will be there if it is one of the engines covered.

Vaux dealer or if you have a laptop Ebay sells Vaux software and interface called Opcom for around £20.
