My chevy S10 isnt starting in the morning but after i come home from work around 3 pm it starts right up fine. I am gonna test the fuel pump to see if it is the right psi but not really sure how to do it. Also if anyone has had this problem and might have a suggestion please fill me in thanks.
It does not jerk at all, I drives perfect when the sun comes up..I also tried to hit the bottom of the gas tank and it didnt work..but i read online that it might just be low pressure and that might cause it so i think i am gonna try that...
 
Sounds like your fuel pump is going. Does it jerk when you drive? Pop the hood, find the fuel rail, look for the schrader valve which looks like the one on your bicycle where you pump air. Get a pressure gauge from your local auto parts store. They're cheap. Just tell them you wanna check the fuel pressure and they'll hand you the right gauge. Look up the pressure you are supposed to have in your manual or online
