Mk2 Ph1 1.4 8v - Cold start idling problem



  Clio Mk2 Ph1, Focus
So I bought this car knowing it had a colder start problem. During the warm weather we had when we bought the car it was fine but now it's cooled off a bit, it is struggling again.

Basically, start the car, it'll jump to 12-1300rpm as usual then drop down to idle, but it'll drop too low to about 500rpm or it'll cut out. Idles perfect when it's warm.

On my old 106 a common problem was Idle Control Valves, took it out and cleaned it today and no improvement, not sure if it's faulty or not. So I wonder if theres anything else I can try?
