    306 sedan sr 1.8 petrol. When i start the car it just seems to cough
    and miss when i set off in say 1st or 2nd gear. It does it alot when i
    put the foot right down on the gas, if i take my foot off a bit it
    starts to pick up, then goes fine. its as if it flooding it with
    petrol? new plugs needed or something else? please help

    Peter, we've already answered your question !
    Your diagnostic light is lit - you need to read the fault code, and fix the
    problem. As per your owners manual, that light is indicating an engine
    (sensor) fault. Until you cure the fault, then your cold-running and
    fuel-economy aren't going to get any better !
