Best Answer

Your automatic choke isn't working properly or at all. If the vehicle is fuel injected (which it probably is) the fault could probably be traced to a faulty sensor somewhere. If the car is carburetted either the carburettor needs tuning or replacing. What you are doing right now is no problem, try not to rev the motor too hard though (rev it as little as possible without the motor stalling).

Brake pedal switch 1998 catera?

It is located on the brake pedal, behind the fuse box. There are two similar switches, one on top of the other. The top one is for the cruise control and the lower one is for the brake pedal. You can just break off the old one and then properly insert the new one, making sure that the tabs actually snap into the slot on the pedal.
