Hi, welcome to the forum.

I'd suggest the water temp sensor for the ecu is shot, sounds like it thinks the engine is hot when it's cold and won't richen the mixture up - assuming it's ok when it's hot.

Other common failures are lambda sensor and map sensors.

so how much will this cost then if it is one of these problems? it is doin my head in m8

First thing to do, if it hasn't been done already, is a thorough service - fuel filter, plugs and leads, air filter mainly.

ECU temp sensor is about £35.
MAP sensor about £60
Lambda sensor about £60

will this be easy to do myself or not?
i know the fuel filter wasnt replaced nor the leads its had ngk plugs on bout 4 months ago
the car has done 26000 miles. im havin a kan put on this weekend well im picking it up then

Temp sensor is fiddly, map and lambda easy. Plug leads dead simple as long as you do one at a time.
