Are there any engine codes? If so repair the problem. A leaky fuel regulator will allow the fuel rail to lose pressure making it to take longer to start. Wnen it finally starts does it blow black smpke out of the exhaust? If it does, then you may have injectors that are leaking into the intake manifold
flooding the system.

Testimonial: "no there are no codes, Yes it does blow black smoke out so would i need to replace all of the injectors out?"

    Check the vacuum line on the pressure regulator to see if the diaphram is ruptured. It would have fuel in it. Does the engine run rough for a few minutes after you restart? If so locate the cyinnder that misses. Also you may try removing all the plugs after running the truck and disconnect the dist wire connections so that the plug wires will not spark, watch the plug holes to see if any spit fuel.

Multiple possibilities. Is the fuel pump running and the turns of ( this will pressure fuel rail) when the key is turned to run position? EFI does not flood. Could be no spark, crank position senor.

Flooding starting

Check fuel pressure. You may have a bad fuel pressure regulator. Pressure may be too high, or the regulator diaphragm may have failed-if it is vacuum operated, pull off the vacuum line-if any evidence of gas in the line, the regulator has failed, and letting gas get sucked into the engine through the vacuum line. That could explain the gas smell and the flooding.

Have a test done on the glo-plug system as it appears that they have burnt out and are not pre-heating the cylinders or providing a source of ignition for the atomised fuel from the injectors

1994 saturn sc won't start after driving couple of miles

the common problem on these cars is a bad coolant temp sensor when they start going bad they will read a cooler temperature for the computer than the actual temp some times it is a big difference.and the colder it reads the more gas will be supplied this will flood the car and you will smell gas.the part is cheap.about ten dollars
