Kj will not start!

[djshepeluk]

So lately the Libby has been having trouble starting. I turn the key and it tries, but I have to floor board the gas for it to start. It always starts but only if I pump the gas to death. I have ran injector cleaner through it but nothing. I can hear the pump come on when I turn the key so that still works I guess. Anyone have any ideas or has ever had this issue?

"Pumping the gas pedal" on a FI engine is pointless as it does not do anything.Holding the gas pedal to the floor(wide open throttle) while crancking shuts of the fuel.

Is the check engine light on? If so what codes? Need more info as all we know right now is your "flooding" the engine while cranking.

Start by inspecting the spark plugs, when was the last time this was done?
A complete tune up may be in order including throttle body, IAC, air filter etc. -fuel filter?
AS Troy mentioned is there a check engine light? Codes point things in the right direction.
How many miles on your kJ?
