1998 Chevy tahoe Hard to start when cold

My 1998 chevy tahoe with 5.7 Liter, 4X4 Automatic is hard to start when the motor is cold, runs good & starts ok when it is warmed up. Acts like it may be flooded. I've replaced the fuel pressure regulator & fuel filter. The fuel pump has been replaced about 16 months ago (twice). There isn't any fuel pressure in the lines after it sits for a short time, where is the fuel pressure draining to? Thought it might be the check vavle in the fuel pump, or the seals in the fuel injection module.

    I needed an option to whether it was the fuel pump or the fuel injectors leaking down. also when I replaced the fuel pressure regulator, I'm not positive I reinstalled the fuel line and the return line o-rings and spacers correctly into the injector module. I can not find any diagrams showing the order that they go in. can you help?

Hello, yes the check valve is in the fuel pump assembly. The check valve is leaking and the pump will burn out soon. Unfortunately the aftermarket fuel pumps can be very unreliable. A good portion of problems we see on this site are from people who replace the pump sometimes twice and it still doesn't work.

1998 chevy tahoe 4x4 wont start. not getting fuel to throttle body. its not a fuel pump relay i tried it. it will start if i pour gas in the throttle body

fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator. When you turn the key do you hear fuel pump run? If not odds are the pump is bad.

1998 Chevy tahoe Hard to start when cold

replace your MAP sensor(manifold absolute pressure) the map sensor is the computer for your fuel pressure regulator telling how much pressure. Unless your tahoe runs like **** going up hill than it inevitably your fuel pump
