My truck won't start at first crank but starts right up on the second. If it sits a few days it has the same problem but sputters really bad and sometimes dies but runs really and strong once warmed up. I've changed the fuel filter,spark plugs and ran some good injector cleaner through it.

You need to hook up a fuel pressure gauge before starting it and monitor how quickly the pressure comes up to spec.

Ok, and once I do that, it will give me an idea if it's the fuel pump or the injectors?
