Mend Citroen Saxo Engine Starting

saxo problem please help so upset:(?

i have a citroen saxo 1.0
and ive had a few problems... my main problem is when from cold my i start my engine and my car cuts out. the other day i started it about 10 times and it kept cutting out until i put my foot on the accelerator and if i took it off it would cut out, so i sat ther revving it and in the end it stopped cutting out.
and it was perfect and i drove in it for about 30 mins and no problems.. went out again in it today and it done exactly the same?
any ideas?
another problem starts fine but iif i stop somewhere about 3 or 4 times.. for like 10 minutes or not even that sometimes it wont start agen. any ideas for that either?
i dont thinks its the starter motor because it wouldnt start for the first 3 or 4 times...
