1996 dakota 318 v8 172000 miles the problem i have is when the vehicle is cold sits overnight or for a couple hours i have to turn the key on and let the fuel pump run for a few seconds. if i dont it just turns over for a long time before it starts. i had a gm vehicle that did this and it was some kind of check valve in the fuel system that stops the fuel from running back into the tank. i was told on this dakota that the check valve i dont know if thats actually what its called is located in the tank with the fuel pump. i guess my question is this if i replace the fuel pump will this fix the problem or is the check valve another part that needs to be replaced im pretty sure this is the original fuel pump and the truck has 172000 miles so i wont mind replacing it if that will fix the problem. i did try replacing the fuel filter but that made no difference. tia john .
