Does it run ok when it starts. do you know if the timing is set correctly. On the back of the inlet manifold there is a temperature sensor for the cold start i think its brown with brown 2 wire plug. Have you had any plugs leads rotor arm and cap recently . Did this problem just start or did you buy the car as it is now.

Do you have an XR3i with an RS turbo engine fitted or a XR3i thats turbo charged . The XR3i uses a K- Jetronic injection system and the RS Turbo uses the Ke Jetronic. There is a air bypass screw on the throttle body if you turn it out the engine will idle faster. To adjust the co for idle speed there a 3mm hexagon in the air filter housing that you have to adjust.
