Initial thoughts are that it is the Coolant Temperature Sensor. If you unplug it does the car start ok? Doing this will make the ECU revert to the default settings and it should start fine, that will determine if the sensor needs replacing. I would suggest getting somebody to check it over with a Lexia - but if it is the Coolant Temp. sensor, this is unlikely to show a fault.
