WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? WHEN I TRY TO START MY CAR THE FIRST
TIME IN THE MORNING IT GRINDS FOREVER. BUT IF I CYCLE THE KEY ON AND OFF 2 0R
THREE TIMES IT STARTS RIGHT UP. I'M THINKING THE FUEL PUMP IS LOSING
PRESSURE OVERNIGHT. DOES THIS SOUND RIGHT? I'M HOPING IT'S SOMETHING
ELSE. I SURE DON'T WANT TO DROP THE FUEL TANK. I'M GOING TO INSTALL AN INTAKE
MANIFOLD AND I DON'T WANT TO DO BOTH

definately sounds fuel related if you need to cycle it.

you have a fuel pressure gauge? new fuel filter? does the car have any driveability problems?

My first guess would be a leak in the fuel system. Is you Mpg about the norm? If so it might be in the return side. My Jeep has the same issue just not worth the trouble to trace it down to me.
