Default Trouble starting

If you have the 4.3l vortec engine check the fuel pressure with the keyswitch turned on but not running. On my 96 if it is below 60 psi it is hard to start. I could pour a little gas into the throttle body intake and it would start and run fine. Replacing the fuel pump was the solution.
