With ALL fuel injection systems, a foot on the floor while starting shuts off the gas flow. This is to counteract a flooded engine. Partial gas is not reccomended because you can easily flood the engine, which is what happened when the engine stalled. The plugs got wet and it refused to start. By the time you got home, the gasoline in the cylinders vaporized and the engine started.
NEVER have your foot on the gas when starting, unless there is already a problem.
