Hard starting after setting for a few days

Hi All,
I have a 2001 24 valve h.o. . When it sets for a few days I'm having problems starting this truck,it will start,run for a few seconds and then stall,I then have to crank it for about a minute to get it to restart. I there a common problem with these engines,and can anyone give me an idea as to where to start to fix it? Thanks
Ed

Check your fuel pressure. You may have a dead lift pump which in turn will take out the VP-44 injector pump.

Should the stock lift pump make any kind of noise when you turn the key on? What is the easist way to check fuel pressure with out a gauge?
