Default Volvo s40 startup problems... please help!

Hi! I have a Volvo s40 2.0t 1998 model which is the lower pressure turbo (twin scroll) than it's T4 variant, not sure whether that would make a difference. But when i try to start the car on cold startup the motor turns on straight away after 2 to 3 cranks of the engine, when trying to start the motor on a warm startup it doesn't startup without having to step on the accelerator at the same time while turning the key and then finally starts after approximately 7 cranks of the motor. This vehicle has just recently had the spark plugs and fuel filter replaced and the idle valve cleaned and has only done 110,000 kms (68350 miles). Please help!!!
