Poor starting and idling after MoT

I have a 2003 Ford Fiesta Zetec. Since yesterday my car won't start unless I apply my foot to the accelerator and my petrol gauge also flickers up and down when trying to start my car. This has only been since I took it for its MOT yesterday and it passed so not a clue what it could be. Any ideas would be appreciated.

They probably adjusted the settings to make the engine run cleaner to get it through its MoT. Try running it on Shell V-Power Nitro Plus petrol. It might respond better on that.
