Yep. By holding the pedal to the floor you're in the "clear flood" mode and the injectors don't fire. The thing is probably flooding because the hose from the throttle body to the MAP sansor on the firewall is leaking somewhere or the MAP may be unplugged. First place to look.

Follow the hose from your throttle body back towards the firewall. Directly behind the engine on the firewall is the MAP sensor. Has a 3-wire plug on it and a vacuum hose.
PS: It's spelled Comanche.

it is a very strong blue spark. I have very good fuel pressure, when i open the little valve on the rail it blows fuel out all over when you turn the key on and the motor turns over. SO IDK i have good fuel and spark but still no start
it tries to start when i put the pedal to the floor but just wont take off????
