Ok so ive tried tackling the problem myself to no avail so its time I ask for help. My 97 Rs will not start unless I press the gas pedal upon start up. it will sometimes start the very first time w/o gas pedal pressed but after that it will not start unless the gas is pressed down. When I do this though, it always starts so I am able to get around. Also, another problem rose simultaneously: a lot of times when im driving and go into neutral and let go of the gas, my idle stays up in the 1800-2000 rpm range for about 5 seconds. So far here's what Ive done to try to fix:
-New ignition coil and spark plugs (OBD read cylinder misfire in all 4 cylinders)
-Cleaned out throttle body which was VERY dirty
-Checked fuel pump and fuel pump relay, both good
Just thought id listen to you guys' opinion and get pointed in the right direction before I waste any more money or time for that matter. Thanks guys
