Hey guys. My truck wont start quickly these days unless i turn the ignition from off to run about 6 times on and off cycling the fuel pump. otherwise i would just sit there on the starter. Its an 89, the fuel pump is newer i replaced it myself, it always worked great after i replaced it. I also replaced the FPR. the fuel filter i replaced twice. i did it again recently thinking maybe in the 30,000 miles i put on the one i replaced maybe it was dirty, and it was still very clean. I dont have a fuel pressure gauge, but if i open the sharader valve on the fuel rail i dont get much pressure. it doesnt spray around like it should. Mind you when shes running she runs flawlessly, no sputtering or hesitating. I dont think its an injector, i dont know what it is. Is there a valve on the fuel pump? i am kinda getting tired of dealing with it. She runs so well its kinda embarassing to have a rig that doesnt want to start without me priming the fuel rail over...lol...like some kind of ocd thing turning my ignition on and off...the g/f really doesnt understand what i mean when i try and explain why i do these things. hahaha. Thank you so much.
