Default Little Niggles are so annoying!!!!

Hi, 2wd Saph., when started from cold, revs up to just beow 1500 then drops off and stalls - was dropping off and just catching before stalling but has got slightly worse!!... Starts fine next attempt!!
Also idles oddly - revs fluctuate beteen 500 and 950 constantly... Has recently had a cam belt and 'temperature sender sensor'?? replaced.. Very jumpy when you change gear aswell, especially 3rd, (like kangarooing.... all seems related (may just need setting up??)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Many Thanks

Default does it recover?????????

does it get a lot better when its hot???????

if so you just need it setting up as you are to rich (probably)

I am running greys and mine does this every couple of weeks until i reset the CO back to about 3%
for some strange reasson it keeps wandering up to about 4.5%!!!!!!!!!
