Default 11 sierra from hell

I try to use the search function for most things but I can't find anything on my issue, so here it goes. Changed the o rings in my 4.8 and now out of the blue it won't start unless I get out and press the Schafer valve on the rail. It doesn't do it all the time but it's got me stumped

Does fuel come out when you press the schrader valve? Do you have a fuel pressure gauge?

Mine was doing the same thing...ended up having to put a return style fuel pressure regulator on and it stopped doing it...it was very annoying ended up smelling like gas everywhere I went because the dam truck wouldn't start unless I bled off pressure from the rail

When you bleed it off is any air coming out?

Jake75- so you just converted to a return system?
