Default Ls1 intermittant cranking issue

Hi ls1tech forum.

I recently bought an frc c5 m6 1999. I had it serviced by corvette paramedics and its running great. Every few days when i go to start it, it takes about 10 seconds of cranking until the engine fires. Its very random. Has anyone heard of this? Thanks

Check fuel pressure when you first turn the key on. If it drops off fast you may have check valve issues. It's made into the rear fuel feed pipe (NOT inside the fuel tank) and not replaceable as a separate item.
