Hard starting 93 5.ol

when i start engine warm or cold it cranks less than one sec before it fires, if the engine stays running it may or may not go to a high idle. if it does not start, the only way to start engine is to depress the accel pedal. what should i be chasing after?

Replace the IAC (Idle Air Control) It is on the throttlebody. It has 2 8mm headed bolts holding it on and has a 2 wire plug to it.
This is what controls the idle speed. Fast idle when cold, when the a/c is on, etc.
Over the years, they get gummed up and or the little motor goes bad in them.

I'd go for the tuneup first and then the IAC...Tune-Up will help out in a few departments, but the IAC is more for idle control then the actual starting of the vehicle....

Not true. It does the same thing as putting your foot on the gas as in the original post. I have seen this problem 1000's of times.
