Fuel Problem? No start.....

Have a 1999, only mod is a Edge Comp that is run on level 2 all the time.

All the sudden I have a problem with it not wanting to start. If it sits for a day you have to crank it over for avery long time to get it to start, and then when it does it will miss for a few seconds like it is not getting fuel. I have a fuel pressure guage and it show 9psi right away when you turn the key on, so the lift pump is working. Seems like it is loosing the prime over time but yet the lift pump is woking and makes pressure right away. Any ideas.......?

I had a similar problem on my 01. A little sputtering very briefly, then trouble starting. I brought it to the local injection shop and the very helpful guy there told me to buy a new fuel filter. He instructed me to buy some Stanadyne fuel additive (2 bottles) and change the filter per normal steps but fill the fuel filter bowl with the Standyne additive full strength. The additive hit the injectors and gave them a great cleaning. I haven't had a problem since.

I do the same thing every fuel filter change. It may help your issue.
