    Megane cutting out

    Hi
    My megane keeps cutting out when I start it. It's a 53 plate 1.4 petrol. To stop it from cutting out I have to rev it a bit when I start it. It never use to do this. Does anyone have any ideas??
    I have just gave it a service, new oil, oil filter and spark plugs.
    Thanks

    I've got exactly the same problem on the wifes car at the moment, so far I haven't got to the bottom of it but I've tried cleaning the throttle body - thought this had cured it to start with but now the faults back. The TDC sensor has been changed - no difference. The only other things I was going to try was a new camshaft sensor and new set of plugs.....
