Citroen Xsara Picasso engine

Car: Citroen Xsara Picasso
Variant: 1.6 hdi diesel
Model Year: 2006
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Hi, my car drives like a dream but every so often, i can get in my car,start it and it ignites for about 1-2 seconds then cuts out.this can happen 10 times one after the other, and suddenly it ignites perfectly and drives perfectly. I have had a sensor changed and have had the A.A. out and checked it with the computer, also my garage has done the same but no fault shows up on the computers.The car does not shudder when driving e.g. diry fuel etc. totally baffled.

Is it from overnight start,as it could be fuel run back due to air leak,But that would happen if it was sitting for long time period.
