1990 Pontiac Grand Prix 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

My car wont start. If I push on the gas peddle when I try to start the ignition all it does is crank, but if I dont push on the gas peddle when I try to start the ignition it will start to putt a little like it wants to start. Someone said it sounds like something that has to do with the automatic choke or like its not getting enough gas. What could be the problem or how can I find out what the problem is?

It does sound like a fuel problem. Start by checking fuel pump pressure.

Here is a how to video to help:

Let me know what you find. Before doing this, you may even want to try replacing the fuel filter. It could be plugged. Also, check for spark at the plugs.
