Probably have to turn the key, too? Some more specific info might be helpful. Is the engine hot or cold when this happens? Do you have to "floor" the pedal to get it to start, and how does it run once it does start?

The very first thing I'd look at would be the coolant temp sensor and connection. The computer gets one of it's fuel delivery inputs from the sensor, and delivers fuel accordingly. If it's cold outside, it delivers more fuel. Soooo, if the computer 'thinks' it is -40F, it's gonna 'dump' a lot of fuel. If it's +40F , it will flood the engine. By holding the throttle wide open, you are doing two things; Shutting off the fuel and giving the engine more air. There are other causes of engine over-fueling, of course. Leaking injectors, faulty MAP sensor, ect. Do you have a check engine light on? If it is, in fact, over-fueling, you need to address this immediately. Serious engine damage can occur do to thinning of the oil. Once you get this diagnosed and repaired, change the oil and filter, too.
