89 w/L98 TPI 85K, after sitting overnight it take several seconds of cranking to start. Seems like the fuel pressure is bleeding down as it sits that long but that's just a guess.

It can sit for a few hours and start right up but overnight it take some turns. I've only had it since Thursday so I'm not real familiar with it yet.

Opinions?

some parts stores will loan you a fuel pressure gauge @ n/c....


check when :

running

1-turn off and note pressure


2-wait an hour --note pressure-- start and note pressure again.


3-leave over night and note pressure before starting.


start and note pressure. repeat 1/2



this will inform you of bad fuel pump or bleed valve/one way valve
