In the old days, pumping the gas forced the accellerator pump to spray fuel in the engine. Today's cars that doesn't happen. The only thing it does is allow more air to enter the intake. That leads me to believe the fuel mixture is too rich. The added air allows the engine to start. Have you ever noticed if there is black smoke coming from the exhaust when you start it?
