Engine & Gearbox / Re: Rough cold starts
Blue temp sensor is a good starting point. I would get one made by hella. Failing that check all the vacuum lines for cracks and the hoses from isv to the manifold and the crankcase breather including the rocker box bung to the inlet manifold.

Hi monkey sadly blue temp sensor did not fix the problem for me. My issue persists car starts from cold perfectly ticks over at 900rpm      
when the engine is warm stop the engine and immediately restart and the engine revs up to1500rpm and drops to 500 rpm it does this 3 or 4 times before settling down to idle at 900rpm. leave the car off for a short while and it will not run without some throttle being applied it soon settles down and idles at 900rpm.

Hi I am currently  experiencing similar issues. I can start the car from cold fires straight away and runs perfectly. When the car warms up   I have the same issue as you. I think the fault lies with the blue temperature sender I have ordered a replacement and am awaiting its arrival so can not say if that is the issue yet. Out of interest I ordered a hella replacement as I understand other makes are thought to be unreliable.
