How to verify the cause of an intermittent long crank and a start/stall condition.

Keep in mind as you follow this video that there are differences in fuel system designs. Some fuel pressure regulators are in the fuel tank or are part of the fuel filter. While other systems use a variable speed fuel pump and have no fuel pressure regulator at all.
