Idle Problem!

Hey guys, my car has recently started to have a problem when it's idle. It seems to be when the engine is cold. When I start it in the morning the revs move between 900rpm (where it will sit nicely) to about 500rpm or below an then it sometimes cuts out! Also sometimes you can hear a squeaking noise when the revs are bouncing between 500rpm - 900rpm! If i drive the car for a bit, for the engine to warm up it seems to be ok. Any suggestions? Kyle

There can be more than one engine type in a 1.8i, and your username suggests it could be either.

Sorry guys you'll have to forgive my ignorance, I don't really know much about cars!
All i know is that it's a G reg (1989) 318i. How can i find what engine it is?

M40 engine in that case! Username is a red herring.
