Hopefully you didnt put platnuim spark pluhs in that engine?They carbon foul in that engine.As far as having to hold the gas pedal to the floor to start it sounds like a bad coolant temp sensor very common on that car.Also inspect the coolant temp sensors inside of the connector if the terminals are green or blue instead of silver you will have to replace the connector also.
