Default Cossie probs......again!!

Everytime i start the car it stalls straight away.
When i finally get it going the revs drop and it goes and stalls it self.

Once it warms up it will tick over but it sounds like it wants to stall.

The car never seems to pick up the revs from start so i thought it was the ISCV, so i replaced it, Still the same, Changed the plugs, leads, dizzy and rotor arm along with some fresh oil. No change.

One you start to drive the car and then stop the revs drop but it doesn't stall, and as the car warms up the revs are still low but it doesn't cut out etc.

There is never any smoke on start up, nor whilst driving. It doesn't get hot and i'm not drinking gallons of water.

The car was set up last month and drives really well.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did that just, It's so annoying.
I was wondering if it could be something electrical or even something to do with the ECU.
