irratic idling

[orangebravo]

T99 HLX 1.6.
my bravo has been standing for 4-5 days in the cold. i ran it for about 20mins on the 2nd day, everthinh OK. the interior light was left on for 4hrs on monday, thanks to my old man. i tried to start it,but dead. used jump leads off my father inlaws car, job done. went shopping, wasn't enough of a run, dead again today! used jump leads again, started OK but the idling was very irratid. jumping from 1000 to 2500/3000 on it's own. it finally sorted it self out, not perfect. took it for a 3mile spin, the throttle was very "touchy".
got back home,it was idling nicely, but now and again it would have another funny turn, then settled down. could the air intake be restricted, or something frozen in its belly somwhere? we, as have most of you guys, been victim to the -10degC temperatures. cheers, and merry xmas.

Check the battery, or better take it in and charge it over night.

display is dead? there is a tiny fuse on the rear of the stereo,it is situated under the iso plug.If your stereo does work then maybe a wire has come lose or its not wired correctly?
