Does This Sound like Fuel Pressure problem?

[JD408]

Having cold start issues, I have been doing a lot of internet searching.
My 1997 2.0 non turbo takes a few cranks to start inthe morning.
somewhat long cranks.
I found that if I prime the car (turn the key to the on position, and then off again) a bunch of times the car will start up right away when I fianally crank it.
I thought I may have a bad gas cap, so I replaced it.
I have noticed that when I open the gas gap there is no sound of pressure release.
You know the sound gas caps usally make when you open them. Much like when you open a new 2 litre bottle of soda.

Anyway, what do you gus think?

Sounds like low battery voltage to me. Check your voltage.

brand new battery, and new terminals.
Should be ok
both less than a couple weeks old

Any input on this?

Check the wiring for the coolant temp sensor located on the thermostat housing. It's prone to breaking because if the retarded engineers at Mitsubish that decided the wire should be 6" shorter than it's supposed to be. This usually defaults the ecu to some crazy coolant temp setting and causes hard cold starts or a no start condition.

I just realized you already have multiple threads on this same topic, and my suggestion was already suggestedin another thread. This is why you DO NOT start multiple threads on one topic.

Problem Fixed: Yesterday I noticed a hose was kinked that had to do with fuel.
Looked like when you kink a garden hose to stop its flow. Took the hose off and put it back on right.
