I had a similar issue...turned out to be the ground cable from the battery, where it attaches down to the engine....cleaned it up well and never did any more of those things that you mentioned above

If hitting the gas pedal was suggested by a mechanic, could that indicate more of an issue of not getting enough air into the upper plenum while its cranking...? If so...I would lean toward the MAF sensor being a little dirty, its quite easy to remove and clean
