Hey, Sandman...

<snip> I have 99` Dakota clubcab, 4x4, 318 CID w/ auto-magic transmission,
that use
to fire to life after only 3-4 cranks, but now it cranks 10-12 times unless
 I turn the ignition on/off a couple of times to run the fuel pump.
 Apparently it is not holding line pressure to the injectors. Is this a
fuel
 regulator (which is part of the fuel pump as I understand) issue or is
there
 a check valve of some type in the fuel line? I live in North Dakota where
 it is suppose to be around 0`F for low temps this week & I'm hoping the
 auto-start works, I don't want to be putting in a new fuel pump till spring
 if possiable.

Does anyone have any other insight that I'm overlooking?<snip>

Do you know the condition of or how old your battery is?
Almost sounds like there's not enough juice getting there...
Just my $.02...
