Full throttle required to start 1998 cavalier
4 cylinder 2.0l engine. You must put the pedal to the floor to start. When it starts the only way to keep running is to rev to redline and then the car runs perfectly......until the next time you start????

Could be a throttle position sensor out of adjustment. Is your Check engine light on? If so get it checked out and let us know what the codes are.

I dont think you have a fuel filter problem. The TPS is not adjustable but it could give the symptoms you are describing.
Is this at a cold start, hot start or every start?
