fuel pressure regulator on a 95 stro

First thing in the morning, I turn the key on , I hear the fuel pump pressureize and then shut off, try to start it and it takes 3 or 4 attemps to get it to fire up. After that it starts just fine all the rest of the day. Does that sound like the regulator? How big of a job is replacing it? Thanks,Tony

It may be your FPR but it may also be your spider ( injectors leaking )
You could attach a fuel pressure gauge to the intake where your lines come in ( there is a shrader valve there ) and see how long your fuel pressure stays up after you shut it off I believe its around 60psi and it should stay there for around a half hour before there is any drop.
You could also take the top of the upper intake off ( its 2 pieces ) and takes a few hrs depending on your skills.Once the top is off you have a view of the injectors and FPR, if your injectors were leaking you will see one side of the bowl washed out more than the other side,if not then you could change out the FPR and hope for the best,if you do change out the FPR make sure it either comes with the proper torx bit ( it has a small hole in the end of the bit ) or you have an assortment of several small sizes of this style torx bit.
