Basically when i start my car in the morning it always seems to run a little lumpy/idle rough and i have to wait about 3/4 mins for it to heat up before i drive it was when i take it away with a cold engine it seems to run very lumpy and poor... i try to accellerate and the revs drop and it won't run anywhere this results in me having to stop, rev it in neutral a little then try again something which isn't great for my car imo it cud be the AFM/AMM as it seems to me to be an air problem going in....

the eml light however doesn't come on and i can't paperclip mine anyway

what could it be? AFM/AMM

The 1.2 16v engine seems to be a total fucker for sensors going AWOL. Even if the EML isn't on Tech2 might pick it up as I've had problems with my car before and the EML wasn't on but the Tech2 still picked it up.

Could be coolant temp sender... the symptoms you describe remind me of a carbed engine with no choke mechanism attached, ok once warmed up though ?
