Search for "vectra stalling" in the Vehicles, Cars section. The search facility is really easy to use - try it.

yes it was doing it b4 the cambelt change,but seems a lot worse than before ! thanks for the reply.

Was it doing it before the cambelt was changed?

If not, maybe the belt has been fitted one tooth out on one of the sprockets. The timing would then be out.
