Depends on if it is fuel injected but if that's the case than the computer could be out on it or the injectors arent getting enough fuel to the injectors

Does gas enter the engine when the car is off and you push the gas pedal?
If your engine has a carburetor, a small amount of fuel will be sprayed in to the intake manifold when accelerator is depressed, and engine isn't running. This is fuel stored in the accelerator pump reservoir to prevent hesitation. So if the engine isn't running, it will spray the first time accelerator pedal is pressed and it won't introduce additional fuel no matter how many times you press the gas pedal after the first press. The engine needs to be running for the accelerator pump well to refill. If your asking because you're wondering if pressing the gas pedal will flood the engine making it hard to start, the answer is No, it won't flood the engine. If your engine does not have a carburetor, then it's fuel injected. No fuel at all will enter the engine with the gas pedal pressed, engine not running. The engine has to be cranking (starter engaged to start engine) for the fuel system to operate. 0 chance of fuel if the engine is not cranking or running to activate fuel injection.
How do you start the car foot on or off accelerator?
Start with the parking brake on and your foot off the accelerator. That way, if the engine revs up, you're not going to accidentally jerk forward or backward and run into something.
Why when you start our car you have to have your foot on the accelerator pedal if not it won't start?
Try servicing the car... Fuel filter/Air filter and housing is the most common culprit. The car basically can't 'breathe' and pushing the accelerator forces the engine to run.

How do you start a warm fuel injection engine?
DO NOT try and try again. This leads to a dead battery and/or flooded engine. Instead, try lightly tapping the accelerator pedal ONCE while cranking the engine. If that doesn't work: Something is broken. Get it to a mechanic who can understand what is wrong.
Why do you have to pump the accelerator to start the car?
It would depend on the vehicle. If the vehicle has a carburetor, the pumping action primes the engine with fuel to help start the engine. If the vehicle has fuel injection, pumping is not required.

Why do you have to pump accelerator to start 396 and it has new carburetor?
If the engine runs well after it's warmed up, you just need to adjust the choke to make the engine start and run better when it's cold.
Why does your engine make a knocking sound when you accelerate?
When you accelerate. you are putting presure on the main engine barrens. if they are going bad. You will hear this knocking sound. I don't know how many miles you have on this engine. But that's what it sounds like. But that's not all that can make this sound. You will have to tell more about it and when it started. Did it just start all at once? or did it start and then get louder?

Raise the hood and have a helper start the car while you listen. Check around the top of the engine to find the humming.
What are the results of a bad idle air control valve?
Everything I have read says that the vehicle will start and then die. Holding the accelerator down a tiny bit will keep it running. After the engine warms a bit, it will go back to normal idle. Needs cleaning or changing.
