ok if it trys to start with u holding ur gas pedal all the way to the floor then i would try replacing ur coolant temp sensor there only like 10.it screws into the head i posted a diagram of where it is.make sure the engine is cold u will loose some coolant.make sure u get a brass tipped one because the plastic tipped ones crack.also inspect the connector if its corroded u will have to replace it also.let me know what u find.
