Got a problem with my 3 litre omega. If the engine is semiwarm (just stopped somewhere for 10 mins to a couple og hours)the revs will drop slightly when accelerating from idle. Put it in D and push the accelerator and nothing happens. Revs drop to around 200-300 rpm. Give it somemore throttle and after a few seconds it will rip the rear wheels loose and set of fast. When coasting right after start on semi warm engine it may also stall under light throttle. When engine gets properly warm, problem dissapears. Also when engine is stonecold it is fine. Hard acceleration and driving at speed is working perfectly under any condition. Just when stopping for a short while it will not give any revs when setting off from idle, before after a few seconds it pulls away like mad when it suddenly reacts to the throttle. Any ideas?

If you have facility, check trims.

If not, I'd start with looking for air leaks, and cleaning up icv, tb and breathers

10 points to you:) on closer inspection the rubber pipe from the maf to the triple-plastic-pipe thingy and the rubber pipe from one side of the front multiram to the plastic pipes are both cracked halfway around. Got to order some new ones. As a temporary fix i wrapped them both in vulcanizing tape and the problem went away:)
