Does anyone have any ideas that might help me diagnose this issue?

Hi guys, I've had a look through the forums but can't find anyone with quite the same problem that I'm having. It started a few months back quite randomly. When I turn the engine over it starts fine but the idle drops to zero straight away and the engine cuts out. If I do the same thing but slightly blip the throttle after the engine starts then it will idle roughly for a couple of seconds but then hold normal and stay fine after that. This only occurs when the engine is completely cold, if it's even slightly warm it will start up fine first time, no throttle needed. I haven't tried any fixes yet; just been living with it for the past few months. Had a new battery recently and the issue hasn't changed. Anyone have any ideas where to start to try and diagnose the cause of this? Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone Cool, which one did you go for? Did you get your bits from incartec or elsewhere?

Hey guys, after months of searching I'm happy to say I'm now the proud owner of a Chilli Red, 54 plate GT Zed with only 35,000 on the clock! Prefect upgrade from my old Celica T-sport. Might see me about the forums soon pecking your heads with stereo upgrade questions!
