So about a week and a half ago, I bought a 1999 Aurora. Has 119k miles on it. When I bought it, it was VERY hard to start. I replaced the mass airflow sensor, which helped considerably, but it's still slightly hard to start. To start the car, I have to depress the gas pedal about 1/2 way, and the car of course when it starts revs right up to about 3k, and then it settles down to normal idle. I cannot start the car without depressing the gas pedal. What could be causing this? The car runs and drives great otherwise.

Clean/replace the IACV (Idle Air Control Valve).

It's on the side of the throttle body...
Google "Northstar TB/IAC Cleaning".

Thanks Tigger! Ended up fixing it. Now I just have a ignition switch to do.
