when my 5.7 IROC sits over night i must turn it over about 25 times to start in the A.M. Once it gets running it runs fine, also when driven 2 or 3 times a day it starts just fine. It seems like I'm not getting gas from the fuel pump. Last year I had someone put a NEW fuel pump in. Also a new filter. The problem seemed to subside but not fully and I wasn't confident the new pump solved the problem. A couple of weeks ago I thought I would run the battery down trying to start it. So I took it back to the fuel pump guy. This time he put a new fuel regulator in which looks like a small thermostat that sits on what I call the valve cover just before feeding the fuel ejectors. I let it sit over night and I thought I;d never get it started. I bought the car new in 89 and only drive in summer and am the only owner
