As I see, it seems to me like a incorrect fuel/air mixture.... Go to someone who has OP - COM, or Opel Scanner and check ECT sensor life data and resistance. Year ago i had the same problem with a same car and all troubles were because the ECT. It`s simple - when you starts the car, the engine is still cold and it needs more fuel then air, so it meens that the mixture is rich, when it warms up it`s the opposite:) Regards
