Engine Mechanical problem
1996 Chevy Astro 6 cyl All Wheel Drive Automatic

Last winter I had starting problems. When the temp got a little cold, the Astro would turn over but not start.
Even with a fully charged battery. I removed the dog house and removed the fuel line at the engine. Fuel flowed easily when engine was turned over. When pushed into a warm garage, it started easily after an hour or so. Something seems to be blocking fuel from the fuel line connection at the back of the engine to the cylinder.
Any ideas???

Other than this the Astro runs like a champ. Idles smooth and drives nice.
