03 malibu won't fire up right away, recently installed new sending unit, runs & idles fine, re-starts fine after short stops. Could the new fuel pump have a denser strainer & causing this? It takes a couple minutes of starter wear to get it fired up, priming the pump a few times doesn't help. Filter? O2 sensor? HEI? Would like some ideas before crawling under this thing again.

- Found out that priming the pump with a couple turns of the key DOES help. That narrows it down to the strainer on the new sending unit. A fuel filter replacement also helped, I only prime it one extra key turn instead of three. Still, the end result is worth the money saved by doing the new fuel pump myself.

1990 chevy suburban. The key was turned to axillary. It stuck there. Then the key would turn but not actually do anything. For instance it would not unlock the gear shift. Then the key got broke off in the hole. We dropped the colum and got it to where the gears would shift. Then we jump the starter off to start the rig to get it home. We then replaced the igintion switch, but the key will now turn over, but will not start the rig. Please help!!!
