Hello,

Your problem could be either a weak fuel pump or bad fuel pressure regulator.

You shouldn't have to press pedal to floor to start a fuel injected vehicle. Try turning key to on position then back off a couple times then try starting without pressing pedal. If starts fine then most likely you have a bad pressure regulator.
