1997 Peugeot 406 hard start

Car: Peugeot 406

My car turns over very nicely with starter motor but only starts with a bump even with a 2 to 3 m distance. pulls well on highway.

really?
minimum cranking speed is over 200 rpm,
If it meets or exceeds that then fine,
If not.....
But these often suffer from air leaking into the fuel line supply.
if you want more accuracy I really need to know the engine size.
