this is driving me insane. every morning and if i let the truck sit for a couple of hours after driving when i turn the key it will fire up for a second but if i don't give it a lot of throttle it will feel like it runs out of fuel and die. then when i try to restart it it just cranks over. i have to pump the lift pump a bunch then cranck it and pump the throttle alot to get it to fire. then once it fires i have to keep pumping the throttle to like 22-2500 rpm or it will die. and it blows a ton of white smoke everywhere. it covers my whole truck. after like thirty seconds or so it will warm up and i can stop pumping it and it will idle fine and the smoke will stop. the truck runs perfect after that and only blows black smoke. im pretty sure my pre- heater grid is not working and im not sure why. i don't know if im sucking air or what but i need to fix it. this can't be good for the motor. its a 96 3500 4X4, sorry i have to do my sig. any help would be great. thanks
