`00 V6 bogging on excelleration

[great2c4me]

this first time experienced today, certainly gave me concern. When I pulled out onto the street, both times, then stepped on it, she just bogged down, I gave it a second and tried again. good thing she got moving. I'm in the desert, southern utah, so I'm wondering if the heat has something to do with it. Also what could be another indication of what i think it could be... Every time I go to start it up, all throughout the day, it takes a moment to start. I turn it over once, and then a second time. my inclination would say that the fuel pump is allowing the fuel to run back up the line, to the tank. If I turn the ignition on, 1-2-3 times before I turn it over, she'll fire right up. I wonder if these problems are not in direct correlation with each other. what do you guys think?

sounds likely......get a fuelpressure gauge on the rail and confirm pressure and do a leak down test.

Is the CEL (Ck eng lite) on?

No CEL - Why, on the `00 model, is there a sensor for fuel pressure?
and what should the pressure be rated at on a b150 V6 model?
