Default s1 cold starting advice

my s1


only recently aquired, only just learnt the knack but cold startings a pain
if turn key it will fire not quite idle and die and a pain to restart


if i just touch the throttle a inch or so and turn the key it fires within a second or so but i have to keep the revs up for a good minute or so before it will think iif idling etc, if i dont get it rght and it stalls its a pain to restart, if i get out touch the flap on the metering unit down a few mill and get someone to turn key it fires straight away


but as i say i know the car and can now start it perfectly, but i want it to fire and idle on the key not mess about for a good minute or so


any advice?
