Idling, Spluttering and Flooding!

Bit of a strange problem

When the car is started from cold (more so if its been raining as well!) it doesnt like to idle, itll be fine for a couple of seconds then it will start hunting and spluttering before eventually dying. If its allowed to die the car stinks of fuel and refuses to start again for a while.

If you jab the throttle iwhile its struggling it picks up again and if its kept revving until its warm the problem completely dissapears!

Ive got an idea it might be the ISCV, TPS or CTS but if anyone has any other ideas on what it might be im open to suggestions!

P.s - Anyone have a part number for a TPS on a clio 1.8 16v?

Thanks

Pete
