Starting issue

[sgtmac]

I have a new to me 98 Tahoe, 4dr, 4WD with about 133,000 miles on it. It starts fine when cold, and immediately after shut off, but if you wait 20/30 min, it takes a 4 Mississippi count to start. If I wait an hour, instant start. I am not getting any codes yet. I have only had the rig a few weeks and was getting ready to do some preventative maintenance, figure I will add this to the list.

I was planning on doing the fuel pump, could it be this?
Thanks

no fuel pump failure would= hesitating to go up on a hill or mountain it would feel like it was misfiring but not really my guess could be starter going bad and not the fuel pump.

That would make sense, thanks.

Check fuel pressure the FPR is notorious for leaking...... Could be a number of other things also....
