2003 MITSUBIHI SPYDER STARTS IN MORNING BUT NOT REST OF DAY

Our car will start the first time, but the rest of the day I have to hold the accelerator down a little to get it to start. (It also idles roughly.) I was told by a service tech at mitsubishi that it may be a fuel injector,fuel pump, or fuel filter caused by dirty fuel. I have added lucas fuel injector cleaner the last two tankfulls and the problem still persists. Unfortunatlely, the fuel filter is located in the fuel tank so I am not able to check it. Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks,
Len

I will have the dealer drop the tank and heck the filter and fuel pump.

I thought maybe there could be a problem with the fuel pressure regulator?

check the fuel filter. check the fuel filter.

I have a 2003 silverado, it starts fine in the morning but the rest of the day it cranks for a long time before starting. turning the key on and off a few times doesn't help. I have had the fuel pump

If the fuel pump is inside the gas tank, remove the gas cap, to equalize the air-pressure inside/outside the gas tank. That should let the fuel pump "suck" the gas from the tank.
