Hard Starting

[sgt158]

I really need some advice. I have a 1990 Ford Bronco II that I have owned since 1998. I recently began restoring it, including the replacement of the original fuel pump etc. I have been experiencing problems when starting the engine. It takes several seconds of turning the engine over for it to start. It is almost like it is not getting enough fuel. However, it runs great once it is started. Note: I did recently have the engine over-hauled, but this problem was present before the over-haul was done. Could it be the fuel pressure unit or a electrical problem? Any help is appreciated.

very likely to be a fuel pressure regulator. also could be clogged fuel filter.

Has new fuel filter plus new pump. Could there be something loose that I missed around the fuel tank that could cause the pressure to drop off after I shut the engine off?
