What I have seems to be a common problem with this vehicle. Truck is difficult to start first thing in the morning. I'm suspecting a fuel pressure problem. I will crank the engine, the engine starts to fire,
then is shuts down. I've opened the Schrader valve on the fuel rail, and just a spurt of fuel will come out. I will be renting a fuel pressure gauge this weekend to see where the pressure is at. Any other
areas I should look at?
