Vauxhall Vectra trouble starting and once started drops revs below 1000 and cuts out

Car: Vauxhall Vectra
Variant: 1.8 16v Sri
Model Year: 2006
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Hi
The car takes about 20-30 seconds of continuous turning over first thing in the morning to start and once started and Idling the revs seem to jump. Also I have to give it a good boot full if revs to get it moving when over 2500 revs it seems fine under that tho and you can feel it misfiring any suggestion?

Sounds like the leakoff pipes or injector seals are letting air in.
Very common, I think I've posted a full PDF fix in another vectra problem. If you can't find it I'll repost it for you

Is that for diesel and petrol?

Diesel mate. Have you revised your car model? As I couldn't see that before

it sounds like a problem with coolant temp sensor also possible throttle/idle control valve problem.Sometimes just cleaning out the throttle can help
