94 K1500 starting issue

Update. Changed Fuel Relay : Test drive and the fault is still there. it seems that the loss of fuel pressure occurs when the engine is hot. And then the truck will not start untill the engine cools down. Today a new symptom has appeared, the check guages light is on and the needles of the...
