It's most likely the idle up silanoid. Or it could be the fuel filter. When I changed my fuel filter the idle was back to 1 1/2 rpms at cold idle.

could be the car is just cold and needs to warm up.
give it a slight rev up to where it should be fast idle-ing, thats what i do then it sits there till its warm.
but there cars are 20years old!

Try unplugging the water temp sensor, and see if it smoothes out. My ca18 idles perfect at 1200-1500 at cold start up. Then after about 45 seconds it instantly runs rough and the idle drops to 600 or so...after about 30 seconds it instantly clears up, and idles back up where it should. Only does it @ the first cold crank of the day. If I unplug the temp sensor it doesn't do it....but my temp sensor is brand new so I don't know.
It did it with my old motor, and continued when I put in the new motor with new sensors.
So I don't know where to start.........It just seems to be releated to the temp sensor somehow for me.

What Keith said. I have the exact same problem as he does and don't know what it could be but luckily it's only a problem on cold starts.
