I would certainly have the throttle position sensor (TPS) checked as it "tells" the computer when to control the engine speed.

the car has had this problem since we bought it, last owner couldnt find the problem either. No the accelerator isnt pressed before turning the key, but now with it being cold in the mornings, turning the key then holding down the pedal to keep it going.
