There is something strange going on with idle revs. On hot engine (as I do a lot of short runs a day (sometimes even up to 20 within 3 hours !!!)) when I start it, the engine can't really come on proper idle revs. The revs are jumping between 250 - 600 and it doesn't accelerate properly. I have the feeling that engine is going to stall. When I shut it down and re-start it after few seconds everything comes back to normal.
Has any of you come across that thing? Is it something major? How to get a rid of it?
Please help cause I am a bit worried.

Thanks

Some suggestions from Kieran HERE (http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23847&highlight=stall) could help, otherwise do a search for IDLE or STALL and should find loads of info

It's so difficult if you're newbie and have no facility to do anything on your own...
Thanks for advise. I'll pass those clues to my mechanic when I am in Poland. I hope it's nothing major and I can run the car for around 2k miles before someone can look at this?
