Yup. Holding the gas pedal down while cranking the engine is actually apart 
of the starting instructions that come with the car from DMC. You can actually 
take a look here at a copy of the instructions from the 2nd edition of the 
Owner's Handbook, hosted on the DMC News site:

According to the Parts Catalogue, there's also supposed to be an information 
label that gives instructions on how to start the car properly. But damned if it's 
on my car...
