I can start my truck fine as long as it sits for a period of time after first start of the day. If I start it and drive it somewhere shut it off it will not start right back up as if there is no gas. I f I pour gas into fuel injection it starts up and runs again. Could the fuel pump be going bad this is a TMI fuel injections motor. Also my battery light blinks going down the road does this play any issue

Here is a how to video for you to watch. It shows what to do, and what to look for.

Let me know if this helps. Also, many parts stores will lend or rent the gauge.
