yea i would say you have a leak, check all your fuel lines. it could be injector leaking down but i wound not think so if the gauge drops that fast.

also I was thinking. check your check valve and make sure it is holding pressure because if it is not than it will just send the pressurized fuel back to the tank. that would explain the long cranking it has to build up pressure to start.

I was planning on upgrading my fuel pump anyway so that is the next thing i was planning on trying.

What/Where is the check valve and how would I go about replacing it? Thanks.

i know the check valve is behind the alt on a fox, but i am not sure on a sn95. but check behind the alt. and you replace it like a valve in a valve stem for a tire.

the check valve is in the pump? So if I replace the pump it will replace the check valve too?
