Hi I have the same problem with my Renault Trafic. Apparently it's a safety system that stops the engine from revving to allow the oil to fully pump through all the engine parts. try changing the oil and filter.

A shot in the dark as I have seen other vauxhalls with a similar fault and it was the crank sensor,if it hasn`t been on a code reader would maybe try that first. good luck
