Does sound like the o2/lambda sensor to me as it only works once the car is warm, other thing would have been afm but thats already replaced

99.9% lambda sensor. caused so much trouble with me in the past, always replace them even if teh engines running fine, can give you loads of trouble if it goes and you dont know what it is.
