So started back near beginning of summer- truck would sit for a while and not start until a full 30-45 seconds into cranking. Was pulling brakes apart at the time so I figured might as well- ended up doing fuel tank, pump, the fuel lines that follow the frame rail, and then fuel pressure reg and gaskets.
Turned the key a few times to let it prime, started right up. Magic.
Just a couple weeks ago it go the chance to sit for a full week. Same issue
Now when she finally starts she seems to choke up some smoke, and definitely has a different odor to it (almost flooded)
Would the guess be that I have a small leak somewhere in what I did allowing it to lose pressure, or a failing (crappy?) fuel pressure regulator?
Or if someone can direct me to the next step of diagnosing.... anything and everything is appreciated!
