I would start by looking at the various sensors on the engine. I am not too au fait with the 16v kjet, but the haynes have a section on where the sensors are and how to test them with an AVO.

Hi Mate...
Check the temperature sensor, and also remove you ISV and give it a clean with Carb Cleaner....
The ISV is located to the right, in line with your Distributer.
Thanks

A few ideas...
Try unplugging your WUR as it enrichens the fuel mixture until its warmed-up. Perhaps they aren't shutting off when its warm, flooding the engine??
Also the Cold Start Injector may be firing for too long after startup. Have a look at that too.
