The SCT has a monitor mode I can look at that can give me a lot of information on my laptop (don't remember off hand if it gives me injector info or fuel pressure and such).
I may return the PCM to stock and see if it changes anything. Problem is I have no idea where I put it almost a year ago...

I truthfully forgot about having the tune. It is just mainly for transmission shifting and tire size adjustment.
I probably should have done it first, but as said, a regulator and fuel pump past 150,000 miles is really pushing it anyway.
Returning to stock is actually very easy, takes about 5 minutes.

Yea, that's all a tuner is good for in the gen 10's. You can get a tiny bit of power from them, but that's only because of shift points lol. I hardware tuned my trans, probably why it's lasted so long lol. That info was from a great tuner (Troyer) who wasn't out to make a buck back then. Just being a friend.

That would be a work, no work thing though, right?
It will start every time I turn the key, it is just a matter of how long it takes it to start running from the time the key is turned.
If I turn the key directly to start, it will take 7-10 seconds of cranking to start.
If I turn the key to run and wait 3-4 seconds then to start, it takes less than 2 seconds to start.

Kinda! I had a similar issue. Mine started out being a hard start then turned into dying while driving and the. It might take 10 minutes to start. I also replaced fuel pump and it didn't help, IAC valve didn't help and a vacuum hose. Finally after thinking about it I switched my fuel pump relay with the pcm and I figured out my relay was bad. It will not hurt trying that or just buying a $11 dollar relay. Also my problem was intermediate

Anyway, that's the post you may of needed. I wasn't aware that relay could fail that way. Under the impression it was all or nothing.

Well, went and swapped the fuel pump and PCM relays, and for a moment thought I had something.
I went to start it and it just cranked and never started, and then I saw the theft light was flashing.
I thought thats it, a bad relay. Well, I went and grabbed a new relay and put it in the PCM slot, and it does the same as before, long crank to start, or turn the key on for a few seconds and it starts right up.
I swapped the relays back (new relay in fuel pump spot) and no change.
I also did a quick check on the injectors. I read that you should be able to feel the injectors ticking if they are working right, and if one is stuck open, you will not feel it ticking.
Well, all 8 I could feel ticking. I then grabbed my mechanics stethoscope and same thing, all 8 sound the same.
I need to find my tuner tomorrow and return it to stock and see if it makes a difference.
