Peugeot 406 2.0 HDI 90 - Peugeot 406 lack of power - acerf3

When i first start the car in the morning the car will not go over 2000rpm but if you leave it running for a while(1/2 - 1 min) its runs fine 1, i have replaced the maf and it still the same.

It shudders some times and other times its fine. It seems to have a lack of power in the lower gear especially 1st.
