Hi, I cant reply to your PM because it says:

so i'll post my reply here and hope you get it
cold idle problems on the 1.6 are very common and usually due to a faulty idle speed control valve. the idle actuator moves in and out to let more or less air into the inlet manifold, which adjusts the idle rpm. if the actuator does not move into the correct position the idle rpm will be wrong. the actuator's position is based on the reading from the inlet air temp sensor, which is fitted next to the idle speed control valve. clean them with break fluid or wd40. if in doubt replace them both with scrapyard parts, it wont cost more than a fiver.
the mk1 and mk2 engines have different actuators and temp sensors so only use parts from the same model as your own. you can tell which engine you have by the upper inlet manifold. it will either be metal or plastic.
