My engine is hard to start?

Thank you for the guides I found out it was the engine coolant sensor, I got new one the truck has never run better! God bless you guys.

My 97 3/4T does not like to start. I can hear the fuel pump kicking on when the ignition is turned on. I cycle the ignition (priming?) Then attempt to start. The truck cranks over and over; after a while it will sputter, then finally start. I replaced the fuel filter, did not affect anything. Fuel pressure (schraver valve) is at 30psi when ignition is turned on, and 30psi when running. Once, the psi was at 50psi when checking. Is this a fuel pump going out or a problem with the fuel pressure regulator?

Nope, stays around 30 psi, increasing a couple psi when revving engine. Gonna change fuel pump tmrw. If it doesn't fix it, I will be back on here learning from anyone I can. Thanks.

Engine cranks slow and hesitates before starting

Have to use gas pedal to start engine sometimes when engine is warm. Starts fine when cold (even winter in MN).

Could be a couple of things that we have seen in our shop in the past. One is temperature sending unit is not reading correctly which could be why it starts good when it is cold. The temperature sending unit tells the computer to run lean when warm or rich when the engine is cold. After the Engine warms up and then you shut it down, then try and restart the temperature sending unit is sending info to the computer to run rich when in fact the engine is warm then makes it hard to start because of a rich fuel mixture. The other item is fuel pressure sensor or regulator not functioning correctly.

I have try to start a few times before it starts but after its run its still a little hard to start sometimes but it will start easier after being already started and run awhile

Truck would not start. A little ether and starts and runs until it burns off. Eventually it will start, then run normally the rest of the day. I changed the fuel filter and am hoping I don't have to drop the tank to change fuel pump.

My truck is turning over very slowly, and its only a matter of time before I don't make it to work, because it's getting worse. I don't have the tools for the job, so I started with the battery. I got it covered under warranty. I replaced the battery this weekend, but I still have the same problem, so I'm wondering if it's the alternator?

I'm wondering if it's the alternator, because that was replaced about a year ago. I would say there have only been 10,000 km's since replacement.

Any way to test out an alternator cheaply?

Well I guess the Alternator is good, and I have a new battery. So what else could make a truck turn over slowly? It turns over like the old 425 big block I use to have. It almost stalls just before it catches. It wasn't like it before. When the winter gets here in a few weeks it won't start at all.

Solenoid/Starter?

I know the former owner had that replaced about 3 years ago.

When I go to start up my truck, mostly in the mornings, or if it sits for about a day, its really hard to start up. It takes about an average of 6 or 7 turns of the key to start. In some cases even 10 times it takes. Would the fuel pressure regulator do this? If I run it for a while, it will start fine if I try to start it in the next couple hours after I'm done without a problem. Why does it do this? Any help would be greatly appriaciated. Thanks
