"Now, just to figure out why it isn't opening while trying to start the car on it's own."

It's because the incoming airflow isn't strong enough (compared to you with screwdriver) to lift the airflow plate. As I said above (about a gummed up control plunger in the FD):

"If airflow plate can't lift plunger, little or no fuel goes out to injectors."
