Default 350 starts on second try

My 1994 C3500 5.7 liter won't start after 5 seconds of cranking, but then if I wait a few seconds it takes right off on the second try

New tuneup and fuel filter
Any Ideas ??

Default wont start

When you turn the key on the fuel pump is supposed to run for a few seconds to pressure up the system so it can start. In a quiet place turn the key on and see if you hear the pump run for about 3 seconds then shut off. If not you could have a bad relay. If it runs you could have a leaking fuel regulator.
