Wont idle until warm...!!

Post by rugstar »

I have A Citroen Xantia(98) petrol...during a recent long journey i noticed that the revs were changing without the accelerator being pressed,holding at 3000rpm and then slowly dropping.This problem has now disappeared but now the car has a new problem.......when starting the car from cold the revs drop immediatley and the car stalls.If i manually keep the revs up and wait for the car to get warm(5/10mins) the car will then idle without stalling.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be and a rough idea of the cost of getting this fixed by someone who knows what they are doing(unlike me!).
