You didn't mention the fuel filter. Has it been changed or checked?

RE: problems with a chev 1500

Im having the same problem with my truck, replaced fuel filter, plugs, fuel pressure regulator, cleaned injectors- still takes several starts when it is cold to fire up. Once its hot is starts immediately. I have runinto several people with the same problem that cant seem to pinpoint it.
