08 Zafira idling issue

    In the last while the idle on my Zafira has gone very erratic. I could start the engine and it will idle at about 1000 rpm. After driving it and coming to lights/traffic it might start idling at about 2000, but if I tap the accelerator it will sometimes start jumping up and down between 800 - 1300 rpm.

    There seems to be no consistency in how it idles.

    Any ideas on where I should start looking to stop this? I checked the air filter and it is clean, only recently changed.

    We had a 1.6 petrol 06 one and it had these symptoms, the throttle body needed cleaning and it was fine again.

    Any idea where the throttle body is? Was going to have a go at cleaning the idle air valve so might try this at the same time.
