For the Love of God Please Help me fix my 95 GT....

I would scan codes before you do anything. The '95's still used EEC-IV if memory serves; these scanners cost less than $20 dollars, and it pays to have your own.

If that's clear, I'd have fuel pressure and flow checked. Normally after a few hours, the fuel lines lose pressure and excess is returned to the tank, however in your case, you may have a leak through a fuel pump check valve that lets the whole thing drain backward, requiring excessive cranking to prime the system again after a long nap.

Just a working theory. Check codes first, then have the fuel system checked out. It *may* also be a leaking injector or injector O-ring seal as well. Definitely something for a professional to check over, and I would certainly pay a good diagnostician before buying more parts that may or may not solve the problem.

WIly, me thinks if your car sits for extended periods of time you may have bad gas or your injectors are fouled. Try draining the tank or if this is not feasable use fuel sabilizer and a can of injector cleaner.

Fuel pump is my guess. I had the same thing on my 95GT. Never figured out what it was. Seemed to be worse when it was hot outside. When I measured the fuel pressure with the engine off it would drop back pretty quick after the pump shut off. I think that's either the regulator (which you already replaced) ,the fuel pump or a leaky injector. I'd replace the fuel pump if I were you. It's not too bad to do yourself.

If it is fuel related and you are concerned about not getting enough gas to the engine after it sits for a while, try to turn the key on, hold for 5 seconds, and back off. On again, hold for 5 seconds, then off. Do this three or four times and then try to start the car.

Turning the key to on tells the fuel pump to prime and run for about 5 seconds. If you can hear the pump running, listen for a sound where the pump sounds like it's laboring (sound pitch should get lower) - this will most likely tell you when it's primed and pressurized.

If this fixes the problem, it may be one of the problems presented in other posts concerning the drainback, and most likely the fuel pump. You could use this method (if it works) to drive the car around indefinately, but it probably means the fuel pump is ready to go anyway, so it's only a matter of time...
