Default Starting

My 1997 SLS has 108,000 miles on it and is hard to start after setting overnight. I have to try it 3 or 4 times before it will start. Once started it will start all day just fine.

Any suggestions? I haven't tried anything yet.
Thanks
Big Jake

Fuel pressure regulator - check for fuel leaking at vacuum port.

also try to change out the fuel filter if it hasnt been changedthey're cheap too. some times if a dirty fuel filter sets overnite the debris in the fuel filter clogs it up and then it makes it harder to start and once you try it a few times it not necessarily unclogs it but pushes some of the debris through. after you change it check pressure if it increased from before.

Thanks to Slowroll and 92 Daddylac.

I finally went to a friend, who is a mechanic, and he found out it was the fuel pump.
Since the fuel pump is in the fuel tank is was not an easy fix.
