So I was going to start my truck today after I installed a fuel pressure gauge to see what kind of fuel pressure I get.want to know because it seems to start hard if it sits for a while.so when I put key to run position not cranking and I looked at the gauge.it jumped to 30 psi pretty easily.but after that I noticed pressure started to drop pretty quickly.below 20 psi then to 15 psi.took me about 3 or 4 cranks to get it to start.after I got it running psi went to 35 consistently.after I shut it off I lost 15 psi instantly.apparently there's a leak somewhere thats not visible so I'm assuming it's somewhere internal.any ideas what could be causing this? also after it gets running it runs and starts fine.just the initial start up after sitting is a bitch.
