Intermittent Starting 240-260 86

Arrrggh!!!

I don't think I solved my starting problem. After letting the car sit for 3 hours at work, I had the same problem when I went to start. Car would crank and not catch. this time I didn't touch the fuse and cranked a few more times. After what seemed to be about 30-45 seconds of cranking, the car started and ran fine.

Is it possible that the fuel pressure is leaking down and that would cause my hard start? If so, what would cause a leakdown in pressure? Where would I start my diagnosis?

Could it still be the fuel pressure relay?

thanks

Mike
