In the morning I will try and start my suburban and it will just turn over and then try to start and die. I'm getting about 13 volts off the battery to start. I replaced the fuel filter because it seems that the it wasn't getting any fuel. It will start when its warm after a few tries. It has great fuel pressure and runs great when it starts. Plugs and wires were done about 6000 miles ago. I'm also getting a code for the o2 censor but this shouldn't affect the starting.
Thank you in advance.

Well the only thing you can really do in the morning is to check for bright blue spark and check the fuel pressure and record it.

Then wait till its warm and when it will restart then do the same thing over again and compare the results. Is the spark brighter? Fuel pressure lower, higher?

How do you get it to start in the morning.
