need help ASAP (197 engine related)

Car  Renaultsport Clio 197
i started a topic about car not starting a few days ago...
After a whole day of not working, tommorow morning I tried my luck and after 10 tries it started, worked on 3 cylinders and after a lot of revs it sprang back to life. After that the engine started perfectly every time.
took it to the dealer, they cleaned the injectors and now the car starts like this every time

sounds to me like your ecu isnt seeing engine speed correctly and is therefore not disengaging the starter motor as quickly as it should.

could be a faulty crank sensor input or something along those lines. did it not show up any fault codes at Renault?
 
i think not..because they handed me the keys and said 'no errors were shown, so we assumed it was bad fuel clogging the injectors.We cleaned all four them, took it for a test drive and all is fine now'

They could be lying, wouldn't be the first time.They also said they fixed my cruise control, and whaDa you know - they didn't.

by the way, sometimes it's worse.On that video it only 'hesitates' once.
Today in my uni car park It 'coughed' three or four times and sounded like it was dying.
Made me look like a d1ck.

Cheers for the input though, will make sure to mention that to the mechanic :D
 
when I turn on the ignition, but not start the car (hold the start button for a while) is the fuel pump or something suposed to make a consant beep ?

btw, the engine start problem is still here.
happened 7 out of 10 starts today.
