check compression n codes sounds like fuel though....

[predator93]

Welcome.

Depressing the gas pedal does nothing on a fuel injected car.

Check your battery voltage, then check the health of your starter. I suspect the starter in this case.

Does it start with a puff of black smoke? If so its injector issue of some sort.

Sorry to provide conflict but flooring the gas during cranking on a fuel injected car reduces or discontinues injector pulse to introduce a "clear flood mode"

Can you confirm that with Datascan or the like? You're saying if you floor it while cranking, injector duty cycle goes to 0% to clean out the cylinders of any fuel flooding?

You can reply to the original post to move it to the top of the forum, to get more visibility.

Measured the voltage where? At the battery? At the battery with the car off you should have around 13.2VDC. With it running you should be around 14.4VDC.

Second link on the above page.

FSM = Factory Service Manual. It has a whole section on troubleshooting certain problems and I'm fairly positive what you've got is in there.
