Why would a 1995 Ford Taurus with a 3.8 engine and fuel injection start when forced but not idle?

because it is not getting enough fuel. it sounds like your injectors are clogged or your fuel pump is going bad. try running some premium gas and some fuel injector cleaner through it and see if that helps. if not then replace your spark plugs and wires. a weak spark will not ignite the fuel propperly. no burn = no go. It could all so be the TCV or Throttle control valve, which controls your throttle at idle speeds. So if you hold the gas pedal down you can make it start but it won't idle on its own.

Common reasons for a 1996 Ford Taurus engine that turns over won't start are a faulty compressor or ignition. The engine may not be able to compress the air/gas mixture well enough for it to burn when the spark fires or the ignition may be unable to produce the spark required to start the combustion process.

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.

The starter, upon activation, has a gear that is forced onto the engine's flywheel's gear to turn the motor over. Upon engine start or release of the start voltage the starter gear disengages.
What happens if you race the engine while starting it?
well , it depends on your engine type .. If you are using an older vehicle (an engine without MPF-i (fuel injection)) , nothing will happen , the car will just burst to a start , that is all.. But if you are using an engine with MPFi/Fuel injection , it may damage your fuel pump , so it is recommended that you start the vehicle on idle. unless if your car is not starting , you may need to step on the accelerator just a bit .. note : If you are having a K-Series Engine , The engine may quickly jump to 6000 rpm if you raise the engine while starting , and that may damage your emission and fuel injection systems
