How is it when you are driving ,does it seem to misfire?

Disconnect one plug lead at a time from coil pack if idling worsens it's not that one if no change thats the one.

If doing it yourself a good place to start is a good set of plugs and check out leads or as said above a coil pack.

It could be running to rich on cold start up try disconnecting MAF on cold start up see if runs better or worse. Could also be exhaust gas sensor

to many posibilitys and I'm not a scooby Mechanic

hope this might help and not hinder .

thanks alot ill try the above mentioned as i said its fine after about 30 seconds i emailed the guy i bought the car off and he said he wasnt sure it had been stood for a good 6 months without being started ,he thought the battery may need charging and this could be causing it
