Our Troubleshooting Chart (in the General Tips Section) can be used to help isolate a hard starting problem with this engine even though the electronics make it unique. Once the diagnostics take you to an injection pump problem, then it should be removed and repaired by an authorized repair station, or if it's under warranty to your local GM Dealership.
