trouble starting

i got a 93 Z28 and its having trouble starting. i have to pump the gas in order for it to start. once started its fine. i just replaced the fuel filter, plugs and wires. it only has 56k miles. any help would be great.

Low fuel pressure. Fuel Pump is on its way out... my old DD did this..

just my .02

Does it run a little rough as soon as it starts?

not really it feels like it wants to die though. also sometimes it just fires right up. someone mentioned to me that it could also be the injectors but they are also fairly new.

Is it only hard to start first time in the morning or random times?

for the most part is at random. it seems like the colder it is the easier it is to start.

Any codes or check engine light? Could be coolant temp sensor. First check fuel pressure then at least you can rule that out.

The check engine light isn't on but My buddy did a diagnostics check on it anyway and no codes. Also the hotter it is the harder it is to start, i have to keep cranking it and pump the gas. But i will do the fuel pressure test first
