Hi
    Omega Elite 2.5 Estate 1998 (70k) When I first startup on cold day car starts straight away but will only idle if I lightly depress throttle for a  minute or so.It will then idle at about 400rpm with no throttle and I can just about  drive away. when warm it idled at about 500rpm. I have had it on tech 2 and ecu reported all sensors ok but low rpm reported(I knew that)They ..adjusted idle offset and now idles at 600rpm when warm but start up still same.I had new plugs and leads, air filter and fuel filter about 5k ago.How does cold start work? logic suggests coolant temperature gauge faulty as I assume that ecu increases idle when cold  but tech 2 reports ok.and if the bloody ECU reported low rpm why didn`t the b8gger increase it itself? By the way main agents down south want £65.00 just to run tech 2 report(I found small garage for £40.00 as paper clip test drew a blank.)

Have you checked your breather system and cleaned the Idle Control Valve recommended is to use Carb cleaner on both.

This tends to help with idle issues.
