Starting trouble...fuel delivery issues? 900 1993

Hey

Lately my 945 has a hard time starting (engine turns over a lot, doesn't get started until you goose the pedal a little).

I thought maybe it's the check valve, so would turn the engine over in little two or three second bursts several times, and then crank engine normally; no go. Have to crank it for at least five seconds.

When it gets started, it hesitates a little coming out of stop for the first minute or so. Then it's fine, runs fine, no trouble, and restarts very easily...*unless* the car sits for several hours. Then it's back to square one.

I am *not* hearing the "two second buzz" when the key is turned to ON, like I used to. Fuel pump fuses are A-OK.

All the various posts and FAQs have me a bit overwhelmed and confused (what else is new?) about where to start with troubleshooting. Relays! In-tank pump! Main pump! Aughh! Suggestions welcome! I have a road trip in 10 days and do not wish to be stranded in the boonies.

Thanks

--Greg
