Exclamation hard starts

this is my first post so hey everyone!
i have a early 04 305/555 with edge EZ cold air and 4 inch straight exaust and it has been getting harder to start the past few days and it viberates at idle more than usual and may have lost a little power i am wonderind if this is a sign of pump failure cause i had all 6 injectors replaced about 3000 miles ago because 1600*+EGT burnt them up?

yes i would say check your fuel pump. Did your turbo go with the injectors?

I'd check both pumps, but definitely start with the lift pump

no the turbo is fine as far as i know but the reason for high exaust temps is that they were over fueling for a while before they went completely out they had an ticking noise and it made me mad so i held it to the floor for a while that way they couldnt bs me all they could do is replace them.

help! now the darn thing want start unless i use starting fluid.
the fuel pressure is right at 8psi from the top of the fuel filter housing and once it starts it runs fine and has plenty of power exept sometimes it only idles down to 1000 instead of 650 like its supposed to but it dosent do this all the time?
i dont know what to do.
