Audi A4 Starting problems!!!!! - T-Bod

I have a 98(s) Reg Audi A4 1.8 se.
From cold the engine starts up fine but if its still warm when you start it up it can take up to 10 seconds to start.when it does eventually start it usually revs to high when idel around 2000 rpm instead of 800rpm.Also when you put your foot on the accelorator it drops the revs and almost cuts out .....this can last for a few minutes even when driving(buy building up the revs).....any ideas

Hi really the car needs the fault codes reading, however I think it's possible that the C.T.S (coolant temperature sender) is faulty, let us know how you get on with it?
