Default Starting Problems...

Ok guys, I am pretty sure this is normal but I just wanted to make sure, when my truck hasn't been started for a couple hours it starts up fine but then a few seconds later it dies out unless I give it some gas then its good to go. After it dies out, the second time I start it there's no problem. I have the 300 I6. Any input would be appreciated!

Something tells me it's fuel related. Pump or regulator or something of that nature

A fuel pressure check is a good idea.

Okay thanks, I have 2 tanks and this happens when I'm on either one so unless both of my pumps decided to **** the bed at the same time could it be the fuel regulator?
