Default 91 c1500 hard initial start 5.7 v8
For the past month my truck was having a hard time starting in the mornings. Now it requires starting fluid at every start. I have changed the fuel pump and fuel filter. Once it starts it runs fine until I turn it off then it needs starting fluid. I also changed the distributor back in May it came with a new cap and rotor.
Please help

You need to do a fuel pressure check at start up. Probably you have a bad fuel pressure regulator.

I have replaced the fuel pressure regulator and all the throttle body gaskets and there was no change could it be the distributor or ecu.
