Could be coil pack . But rather than guessing , get it scanned and see what shows.

check coilpacks,sparkplug cables,timingbelt timing,crank sensor,sometimes the crankpully comes loose and the timing shifts where the cranksensor is. loosen the bolt on the crank pully and check if the pully is still in place. in south africa we have the opel astra and corsa. its basicly the same as your vauxhaull.
