Turn the key on, bump the starter but do not start, and listen for the pump to run. Once it is done running, try starting about 5 seconds after that. If you have fuel draining back that should fix it.

thx what would cause the leak back i checked all check valves replaced fuel lines, not sure if wait to start intake heater is playing into this cause when it runs for a couple secs she fires like new ,however when it lights up and is gone ,she wont start until shes good and ready,never left me but up to 4 mins of cranking not at once .

ok then it dosnt sound like your loosing pressure to me...cause if that was the case it wouldnt start of the morning because it would have bled down over night...just for **** and wiggles when it wont start try turning the key on then gettin out and unpluggin the fass relay then get back in and turn the key off then try to start it....if it starts fine then it sounds like your getting too much pressure to the pump putting it in a hard start mode

You need a fuel pressure guage. Low pressure lights are junk (at best).


Have you checked for codes?

Cant really do much except check fuel pressure and check for codes. Good luck.

Hard starts when warm usually mean that you need a new injector pump.
