As per the instructions on the link below, try the pedal trick to see if it will give you a clue codes wise before you take it to a dealer. As TB says in the link, you may be lucky. :y

Which one did you buy? But yes any OBD II code reader should work.
Does it list Opel?

Most unusual, did you try all combos of sticking it in with it running , stick it in then start ?
