1998 2.5 being a bit rubbish when started in mornings for the last week or so, revs up and down and bloody thing stalled twice this morning whilst moving which is unique in my 20 year career of running various bangers.  After ten mins or so everything seems fine, tickover seems about the right speed. Any ideas?

idle control vave sticky?

easy enough to check and do.

clean it out with a spray of carb cleaner.

ICV looks like brand new, but might have a look when i get chance. still stalling in morning when foot off the gas pedal (when car is cold)The problem seems to go totally when car is warmed up.

Mine does this very occassionally. I think it might be down to the fact that my exhaust manifold gasket needs changing, starts rough, idles rough, then ok when pull away or warmed up. I Think it might be something to do with the back pressure. All fluids/filters/plugs changed in last month, breathers/plenum and ICV cleaned thoroughly so don't think that's the problem. What's your exhaust manifold gasket like?
