my t reg (99) vectra cuts out at low speeds?

my t reg vectra cuts out when slowing down for approach to traffic lights or roundabouts etc, but runs fine otherwise, any ideas please? when sitting in traffic tickover is erratic.

If you know a bit about cars or if you know somebody who does, find out where the idle speed control valve is and remove it by undoing the 2 phillips screws. Go and buy a tin of carb cleaner and spray it inside and all around the sensor. Put the sensor back and try that.

Possibly the air idle valve or sensor. Common Problem & I've just encountered it with my SRI 140 vectra.
Someone has been selling genuine parts on ebay recently.
