Default rs turbo starting/tickover problems

when my car is cold in the mornings it will start on the first few cranks, rev it and it sounds like its running on three, cut's out if you dont rev it
when it gets warm the tickover usually sits fine but occasionally it drops lower and lower until it cuts out... was thinking that the co might need setting, cleaned the throttle body which improved it slightly as it was mingin, going to disconnect 5th injector tommorow morning to see if it makes a difference,

any ideas people?

I've seen that b4 and it was the metering head at fault

oh great, just have to live with it for now then if it's that, doesnt seem that bad today, but would not start with the cold start injector disconnected, reconnected it and it was lots better.
