yes im sure it is since this issue started after i put the airtex in. but as long as its working... ill leave it in there.
at some point ill pick up a densi pump and leave it in the truck. when the airtex fails, drop the tank and switch it out. hopefully not when the tank is full of course

Oh come on. You KNOW that fuel pumps only fail on a full tank.

For certain values of 'funny' in any event.

I just got used to it when I was doing that kind of thing for a living..... I even stopped asking the customers how much gas was in it... just assumed a full tank. More often than not, I was correct.

Hey man, what did you find out on this, my 94 is doing the exact same thing. I usually let it cycle for a half second, turn the key off, back on, and then starts immediately. Same symptom of immediate start on cool mornings.. I do park on an incline no change..
