You're not mashing down on the gas pedal while you are trying to start it are you?

Doesn't matter if you do or don't on these cars.
The PCM won't accept any throttle inputs until it's running. Remember your gas pedal is only an electrical "suggestion" to the PCM, it is not physically linked to the throttle body.
