    Have a vauxall vectra at the house here, a light seems to appear on the dash when driving through town, after stopping at traffic lights alot etc. especially when the car is left idling for too long. Light comes on and the car is very sluggish from take off, no acceleration for while till the light goes off in one of the higher gears and then its grand again.

    Th car is a 98 vauxall vectra 2 litre diesel LS.

    It doesn't seem to be the airflow meter as one has been tried from another vectra but the problem still occurs.

    From my experience, an EML can mean any number of things including the Cat Convertor gone. You have to get it checked in a garrage where they can check the error code being given from the EML.
