Car never starts the first time....... I have to give it a little gas about half pedal to get it to start. 
It seems like its getting to much gas or not enough gas. When turn the key to crank the fuel pressure shoots up to 60psi. I let the pump cycle off then I go to crank it and it just turns over and over. I recall once I let the pump prime up like 6 times and the car almost started up. But once the car is started it runs and idles great. 
I'm really not that worried about it cause the car runs so good but I would the car to start up on the first try. Aeromotive Fuel system A1000 pump, A1000 regulator, Aeromotive fuel rails, stock injectors, running fuel cell with return line. Does anyone have any ideals. 
Thanks

what throttle body are you using? What engine modifications do you have?
If it is an f-body throttle body, and your engine has an aftermarket cam in it, it might be helpful to drill out the little hole in the t-body blade a bit bigger to allow the engine to breathe.

No I don't, I guess I need to get it on a dyno.
You might try reading thru this thread and then try adjusting the idle stop on your TB. If you can find someone local who has some type of scanner, that would be your best option.

Well you can get a wideband from one of our sponsors for cheap on a group purchase going on. Look in the sig. It even comes with a guage. Or you can pay for dyno one time....
