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 !
