When I leave my 97 Chevy 1/2 ton for a few days the damn thing don't want to start. Cranks like all get out. No starty. Eventually, after 5 or 10 minutes of crankin and waitin, it will start. After that, starts fine all day long. Today when I tired to start it, nothing for maybe 5 minutes. So I pulled the intake off and poured a little fuel into the throttle bore and it fired and died. Poured a little more in and it fired right up and ran great all day. I checked the fuel pump pressure and that's fine. Put a new filter on a few months back. Is there some kind of one way valve that might be bad, allowing fuuel to bleed back down? Or something else I'm not looking at? It must be a fuel delivery problem, but only on the first start after sitting a couple of days. I'm stumped.
