1997 Cadillac Deville V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 130k miles

My 97 cadillac deville wont start right away it wants to spit and sputer then after a few min it will start then it seems to run fine what is the problem? I turn the key on and the fuel pump runs. I let it run for a few and doesnt help. I also tried giving it a few pumps of gas. It's like the pump is fine but the gas wont get there fast enough, mybe a filter issue?

It could be the case that there is already too much gas there due to a leaking fuel pressure regulator. Remove the engine cover, disconnect the vacuum line to the regulator and see if raw fuel is present. If so, replace the regulator.
