Yes, it was holding the pedal down that eventually got it started. I'm guessing the big puff of smoke is further evidence it was flooding (it's not the AOS, I had it checked recently).
I've never driven my other Boxster in sub freezing temps, so I don't know if these engines are prone to flooding in such weather (beyond being programmed to give a richer mixture for cold starts) or if it's the failure of a part.
Thanks for the extra input.
