Hello and help!!!

I have a Punto 1.9 Diesel that has trouble starting. The red engine warning light comes on and the only way to get the engine to start is to press the throttle to the floor. The engine revs hard and at this point the red engine light is off. When I release the throttle the engine revs reduce and the red engine light comes on and eventually the engine stops. During the engine revs reducing, it doesn't matter if I press the throttle again, it makes no difference to the revs, they still reduce until the engine stops. Does anyone have any ideas to what causing this problem?
