startup great!! idle not so great
 
So I start her up and she starts sweet-as, no smoke ( of any sort) and idle immediatly goes up to about 2.3 k then immediatly settles down to about 1k.

Then after about 1-2 mins of good solid idleing all of a sudden the idle drops down to about 500 - 800 rpm and goes all 'lumpy' and a bit of smoke starts coming out the exhaust ( kinda blueish and smelling a little acrid) but as soon as she warms up ( about 5-15mins ) she's all sweet and drives great and I dont have any problems.

I only drive my FD once a week, maybe twice to work and back.

Would this be a result of my FD sitting in the garage all week and not being driven? should I at least turn her over about 3 times a week?

BTW - my plugs are quite old, could they be a part of the problem?

If the plugs are old, it wouldnt hurt to change em, and clean your throttle body and adjust your tps, thatll take care of the idle

could also be a sticking apex seal =( thats worst case. change the plugs and the driving patern you talked about is the culpret for that.
