Why would you have to hold down gas pedal to start a 2.2l fuel injected engine?

In a modern fuel injected engine, holding the accelerator pedal - commonly known as the "gas" pedal - down cuts off fuel supply. When you hold the "gas" pedal down, what you're actually doing is allowing more air into the engine which the computer detects and supplies more fuel, unless the engine isn't running in which case it cuts off the fuel supply by disabling the fuel injectors in most cases.
This is in contrast to a carburated engine. When you hold down the "gas" pedal you are actually doing the same thing. You are allowing more air into the engine, but with a carburated engine, the air flow controls gas flow which brings more gas into the mix.

What would cause a fuel injected car to flood when trying to start The spark plugs are wet with fuel?
You cant flood a fuel injected vehicle. It would be something else making it not start. It could be a bad fuel pump or spark plugs. Anything to do with the ignition. Distributorless pack, where all the wires plug into. Also hard starting problems are sometimes the result of an improper starting technique on the part of the driver. On a fuel injected engine, DO NOT push or pump the gas pedal when trying to start the engine. This just puts the engine into the Clear Flood mode, which will cut off fuel to the engine temporarily making it even harder to start. Just crank the engine without touching the gas pedal.
Why would you have a problem starting an 87 Ford Tbird even though your wife can start it easily?
This is a fuel injected vehicle. if you touch the gas pedal to start it you could flood it. Maybe your wife starts it without touching gas pedal.
Why would your 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix with a 3.1L engine start hard when the engine is hot?
Try putting the pedal to the floor while cranking it
Why would the engine not start on a 1999 VW Beetle after refueling?
This happens rarely, but has happened to me a few times. What I have learned is, I depress the pedal and start it up again, and this seems to work (leave the pedal depressed and release when it starts up).
How do you you know if a brake booster is bad?
Start the engine and then push the brake pedal down. If it is soft and easy to push then the booster is okay. If booster is BAD the brake pedal would be hard to push.
Is carbureted engine an engine with a carburetor?

What would cause a fuel injected car to flood when trying to start?
No spark?
The engine would start and can running at idle but why when the cars accelerator was used it would not accelerate?
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
What pedal would you full depress to ensure the car engine will not stall?
