Zafira not idling?

Hi, got a X reg Zafira 1.6 petrol, it has started to not idle once the engine is warm and will stall at lights or a junction or after being on after run down a hill, did this for a few weeks but now the engine light is on and its hard to start the car, and definatly wont idle, if it does idle,(briefly), the revs are up & down like I am revving the engine between 500 & 1500 revs, very skint at the moments anyone any idea?(Oil is ok)
many thanks

Have had the same problem recently. Fixed it last week by adjusting the throttle level for idle. Will burn some more fuel for you, but will work...
