car misses/misfires/coughs in low gears on first use!?
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

Is the air filter clean?
Are you using cheap fuel? My old 1.3 309 used to hate supermarket fuel, stalling at lights etc - but it loved the old Shell Super Unleaded - went like stink on that stuff
I suppose it could also be a bunged up fuel filter. I know some of the additives in modern fuels tend to get collected in the filter and can create higher resistance to flow, particularly when cold.
