Starting problem.. (1.4 16v 02)

[Reyes]

2/3 times it doesnt fire up.. Its very embarassing as this happened on front of everyone Friday night on front of Mailbox Not a happy bunny. What could it be? Going to get it sorted tomorrow.

Do your dials make stupid noises and movements?

 

[Reyes]

Nope, also.. The revs go VERY low and the car rumbles like hell for like 10 seconds

sounds like the throttle body needs a clean for a start, the low idle to begin with is quite common though.
