Low Power, Rough Idle, Hard To Start

Hi,

Really need some help with this, i have an 01 ibiza S 1.4

THis morning it cut out on me however i restarted it after two attempts, the car ran fine all the way to work.

However tonight, i get in the car and go to start and it doesnt start fully. Its ticking over but very little spark, revs to about 200rpm and cuts out.

Finally got it started after about 6 attempts and it idles very poorly, between 400 - 900rpm. To set off in first i have to rev the car quite a bit to get it to move. Also engine is very tappy.

When i get it moving i find that i have no power at all. I have to rev to around 3.5k rpm to get it going so i can change gear. Everytime i come to a stop the idle drops down to 400rpm and jumps around again.

Really worried as i dont know what this might be.... 1 problem after another with German cars.

Any ideas?
