I have a 1995 four cylinder Chevrolet s-10 pick up. Lately in the mornings or after the truck has cooled down I can't start it. If I hold my foot down on the gas a few times it will soon start, it will shake a bit and then even out after a minute. Once running it drives great, no sputters or anything. What can this be? Any help would be great!

We just had this problem. Look at the fuel pump, right above it is a fuel pressure vibration dampener, remove it and replace it with a piece of fuel line. let me know.
