the idle valve on my 96 vectra is located on the throttle body i should think its the same on yours anyway first take off the thick pipe going from the air box to the carb tie it back so you can get at the idle valve then take off the elecrical connector going onto the idle valve undo the 2 alun screws holding the idle control valve to the throttle body theres 1 on the top and 1 on the bottem take the valve off and give it a good spray with choke and carb cleaner wipe with a cloth and refit should do the trick if engine is idling to fast or cutting out
