Starting problem
Hi Everyone.
When I start my truck in the morning it cranks and starts but immediatly dies, but it only does it once then it is fine. Also, when it has been driven then shut off for about an hour or so it takes a while before the motor actually starts. It just cranks and cranks then turns over. But if I shut it down then start it immediatly it starts fine. The fuel pump is new, from what the previous owner told me, and the motor is new. 10,000 miles on it.
any suggestions?
Thanks,
-Phil

You should have two fuel pumps, one in the tank and one in the frame rail. It sounds like the frame rail one is working/replaced and the one in the tank may not. Try this, turn your key to the on position (without starting it) three times. On the fourth time see if it starts without problems.
You might want to change your fuel filters. It really varies by year, but, you could have two on your truck. One up front and one in the back near the tank. The one near the tank is suppose to be empty, but, sometimes it contains a filter. I added a filter to mine.
I would pull codes first before I did anything.
