    It might be a vacuum leak from one of the air hoses. If you pop the bonnet and let it tick over you might even hear it hissing out. Only way to be sure is to have a mechanic check over it.

    Probably the idle control valve or throttle body. A mechanic will diagnose it fairly quickly

    I also got this symptom once when the ignition coil unit was on the way out on a Vectra.
