Farrar - this thread comes up every 4 weeks, so please check the archieves. others also may read the manual which says that the lambda system is deactivated when cold ! (constant PWM/Frequenca on the Frequency valve !) If the idle system would be failing - why would the idle speed motor then be working ???? check your mixture, it may be too rich and/or the warm up regulator may be out of calibration. In most cases a regular tune up will solve this problem. (Co-tester needed !!!!) Again - it's a comon issue, repeated every few weeks and not valid for carburated cars...
