New to me vette, bad fuel pump check valve?
First time corvette owner, coming from a 2005 GTO. I purchased my first corvette last friday from a stealership, 2010 c6 6 speed. Everything was awesome the first day and then i went to start it and it cranked for about 6 seconds and then started. Weird. Leave for work this morning and it started normal, keep in mind it sat all night. I leave work for lunch and it cranked again for 6 seconds or so. After some research on here I put a fuel gauge on the fuel rail and shut the car off, the pressure went down to 5psi really quick. I would assume the check valve is bad. Question is, there are two pumps, does only one have a check valve or do i have to do both? Pretty pissed at the moment I am about to call the dealer. Either they knew about it or it went bad the very next day. Which i find hard to believe.

There is only one fuel pump. It's in the driver side fuel tank. If you've only had this car 4 days there is no reason why the dealer shouldn't be fixing this free of charge. It did come with some kind of warranty, didn't it?

i am almost certain it was an as-is. It is also almost a 5 hour drive each way to the dealer i went to.
