every single time i start my car cold it idles rough then cuts off then the next time i start it it's fine.

i looked under the hood and i saw that one of the spark plug wires was up against a header and melted a little.

could this be a problem... i looked in my chilton's manuel and it said something bout a fuel pump may be bad (i don't know if mines been replaced or not... or when) or a vacuum leak, or battery is almost dead. should i just replace my fuel pump and check the hoses?

also when i push the pedal past a certain point it just gives in and becomes really easy to push... i can't remember if is was like this before or not

A new fuel pump would be something to consider for prevenative maintanence but it doesn't sound like your problem. The plug wires maybe contributing to the problem but they really don't sound like it either, I would highly reccomend changing them. I would start with cleaning your MAF wires. Also, take your TB off and spray it down with some carb or brake cleaner.

run a code scanner on it, a bad ect sensor will have those symptoms
you can check for the codes here http://www.my5oh.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=197

you can use jumper wires to make the engine soon blink any codes or buy the 20.00 scanner....clean the maf..does it have a k/n filter?
