Hard start like truck has hole in fuel line
When I go to start my pickup it starts really hard like the truck is loosing fuel pressure or there is a hole in the line and I can't find any leaks or holes anywhere. It isn't throwing any codes that would say it is the fuel system. Any one had this problem, it just started a week ago, and does it somewhat sparadically.

Last time we had that happen it was the injector hold down bolts. They didn't get tightened down. Check your hold down bolts, if they are ok then it could be an injector oring.

An IP problem wouldn't pressurize the fuel tank. Gotta be an injector related issue. Cross over tubes, oring,washer, hold down bolts. Things you need to check.

On the other hand, isn't there a breather on the sending unit that should NOT have the cap on it, so that the lift pump can never pull vacuum? Should the opposite be true (not being able to pressurize tank)?
Just asking questions here, I honestly don't know and am curious...

I notice you have a FP gauge, did you use an isolator? If so the grub screw (Allen head) for bleeding is supposed to have a ball bearing under the screw. If you took it out the ball could have fallen out. The grub screw will seal enough to prevent a leak but allow air in over night.
