Car Trouble

Hi All, I've been having a problem starting my car for the last couple of weeks (99 Xsara). So I took it to the dealer to have it serviced (it was nearly due anyway) and got the front brakes done also while in there.

Hi All,
I've been having a problem starting my car for the last couple of weeks (99 Xsara). So I took it to the dealer to have it serviced (it was nearly due anyway) and got the front brakes done also while in there. They informed me that one of the spark plugs was loose so hence the trouble starting the car.

But since then the problem is still there and I have now replaced the battery with no joy.

Basically the car will not start unless I press my foot to the floor after turning the key, when before it would just start by turning the ignition key and without pressing the accelerator.

Any mechanics out there with any adice on this as I have no confidence in the Citroen dealer.

Is it air is the fuel line or something like that since it needs the accelerator pressed to get it going.
