1999 Chevy Silverado hard start

Topic starter

Hey Scotty,I have a 1999 Chevy Silverado with 189k miles on it. I have trouble starting the vehicle first thing in the morning, it cranks too long before it starts. If I turn it off and I start it the second time, it'll start right up perfectly fine, but hours later it'll still take long to start.

I replaced the fuel filter, spark plugs/wires, mass air flow sensor, fuel pressure regulator.

What else could it be?

did you measure fuel pressure before replacing all that stuff? or after?

You said it was running lean a few months ago right.


@imperator I Just Checked The Fuel Pressure...It Says It's At 40psi

You didn't say what model or engine you have, but that sounds low.
