For the last few day my 1.8 has had low revs.

I start up from cold drive for 10mins then the revs drop on idle in traffic for a min or 2 then its fine one i get to drive for half mile then its all fine again.

There was a couple of mornings when it took longer to start then normal.

any help would be great :help:

I'm having the same problems. It'll start, rough/hunting idle for a few seconds and then settle after about 30secs to a minute. If I try to pull off straight away (automatic) it often cuts out as it is loaded up. In addition, I have been working through a starting problem in wet weather; changed the leads, distributor and rotor, but the problem still appears to exist. Checking the plugs next.
