2000 2.2 S10 hard cold start

[chupe442]

Looking for some directions here on a 2000 S10 2.2l that has a difficult time starting first thing in the morning or after sitting for a few hours or more.. If only like a run to the store, it starts right up. Most info I have found pertains to the 4.3 engines spider/fuel inj. module or the pressure regulator.. I have not checked fuel pressure yet as it appears to get fuel, it just acts like there is nothing in the line for the primary start of the day..

 

Thoughts?

Check fuel pressure after the pickup has sat. Then turn the key on, but don't start the engine. Check fuel pressure again.

 

Let us know what your readings are, and we can go from there.

Spend some money on Chevron Techron fuel additive. I didn't believe the hype until I used it in my MFI V-6
