only for the last couple of days, when my car is cold and i start it up, it dont like ticking over!! i have to rev the car for a few seconds for the choke to kick in, or otherwise it either a) dies or b) coughs and farts for a few seconds, then returns to normal?!

what could the problem be, and is it easily fixed?

also, there is no choke on a 1.4 16v

as long as the car runs and idles ok when started, nothing to worry about.
