HELP!

My pickup is very hard to start. But seams to run just fine after it is fully warmed up.

Once I get it started I have to let it warm up to full operating temp before I can touch the throttle. I normally have to restart my pickup many times wile it is warming up. If I touch the throttle wile it is warming up it will die shortly after, Usually within 5-10 seconds. It has a brand new fuel filter, I cleaned the FPR screen, and just got my injectors back from Jim with about 100 miles on them now. So it cant be the injectors, or injector o rings. I'v talked to a couple people and they said maybe fuel pump, valve cover gaskets, Or the ICP sensor. Anyone have any ideas?

Did you inspect the uvch and plugs when you did your injectors? If it's the ICP, try unplugging it and see what it does.

well it did this before i bought the injectors and iv put about 300 miles on it wile its been doing this and someone promissed me it was the injectors so i sent them to jim and its still doing it. so im sure after 300 miles the air would be out? but i do have a fuel leak on the banjo bolt i was told this could be the problem too. its had a leak since the day i bought it. i tightened the banjo bolt a couple months after i got it and it helped quite a bit and it still isnt leaking anymore then it ever has. its a verry small leak.
