Problems Starting...

I have a '95 LHS, about 46K Miles.
Every once in a while, when I try to start my car, it doesn't start. It sounds right, like its turning over fine, when your trying to start it, I'm not getting any coughing. I figured out that whenever your push the gas down when attempting to start it, the car will start. I've tried putting dry gas in and other fuel system cleaners and stuff, but the car still does it.
Approximately 4 months ago, I had replaced my sparkplugs with Bosch Platinums. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it.
Any idea what may be causing this? My guess is that the fuel injectors may need to be cleaned...but thats just my $0.02..I'm not very knowledgable at all with cars...so I'm asking for your advice! Thanks!

sounds like a fuel injector problem indeed; in your case, you sound like you have an injector that's leaking thus causing you to have a flooded situation where it's hard to start the car up.
