02 Silverado won't start in cold weather
When the temp gets in to the middle to low 20's I have to leave the key in the on position for several minutes before it will start. The colder it is the longer it takes. I had a weak battery which I assumed was the problem so I had a quality 700 cca battery professionally installed and it didn't fix the problem.
Saw somewhere fuel pressure could be a problem. I had the pump and filter replaced about 4 years ago.
Thoughts?
TIA

Welcome to the forum...
I would have that fuel pressure checked.. it needs to be 55+ and steady, should not bleed down too quickly after shut off...
