Have no idea how to even check that. I'm not a mechanic. Trying to do it myself. After starting, runs good. easy to start back up unless you let it sit for a couple hours, then back to hard to crank. I know its not getting the gas. When I put in the 1st fuel pump, cranked right up. Only when it failed and found the Sock has broken apart(probably why fuel pump failed) and put another pump did this begin?

"Have no idea how to even check that. I'm not a mechanic. I know its not getting the gas."
How do you know it's not getting fuel?
I commend you for trying to fix this, but these problems can be difficult to resolve, even for highly experienced technicians. Do you have a good repair manual that has some diagnostic information?

Yes, gone thru and checked ohms some of Electrical parts I could get to. All checked out OK. Hven't cheked out pressure regulator but from what I understand? that wouldn't keep it from starting right away. With a new fuel pump installed, the next item up the path would be the fuel filter. >( Has never been serviced, auto has 200,000 miles on it (Spare Car) but I like it and it get 30 mpg. Anyway. If I replace the fuel filter and its still hard to start, I guess I'll donate it. Just thought that could be the problem. Thanks for your help

replace fuel pump. It is located on the firewall in the engine compartment follow the fuel line from the injector housing to the firewall. It is down low and can be difficult to takeout..
