Technical Almost stalling on a cold start

[Louisstanley]

So as the temperature drops, mornings are coming colder and colder, and I've noticed my Fiat Bravo 16v 90bhp 08 is going a bit weird.

On a cold start in the morning I'll get into the car, no accessories on and will turn the key straight away, nothing else. There will be the usual urur, then it'll fire up but will sit in extremely low revs sounding like it's about to stall, it will do this for a second or two then the revs will pick up to around 2k and slowly rest down to 1.2k. It will then stay there for around a minute before dropping down to idle.

This is my first car so this may be common but of course I'm going to worry as it doesn't sound very good for the engine in all honest.

Help would be much appreciated, cheers

Sounds like a problem a lot of us are having with petrol engines; check this thread out:
