Please Help
I have a 2000 corvette. Sometimes when I go to start the car it will just spin over and not start. Sometimes it takes about 3 times trying to start the car to get it to start. Sometimes it starts on the first time? I turn the key on and let the fuel pump cycle and it does correctly. Once the car starts it never messes up at all. Runs perfect. Any ideas what it could be. I called the dealership and they told me the fuel filter was $134.00. Is there something special about this filter, could that be my problem?

1) Regulator
2) Pump check valve
3) Leaky injector
If the pressure holds, but is low :
1) Filter/regulator
2) Pump
