Sounds like a fuel filter/fuel pump issue....I'm having a similar problem with my 1990 Grand Prix SE. Was hoping to find the location of the pump and filter, as they aren't even mentioned in the owner's manual!!! I'd prefer to do the repairs myself...another site said replacement of the filter was quite simple, and it's cheaper than the $50 the repair shop wants!!! Also, I read a review at that same website, where the author complained that his fuel pump went out at 199,000 miles. It's worth checking out!!

What causes a 1999 sierra 5 3 liter to hard start only if its been setting the right amount of time sets short time starts good sets long time starts good maybe fuel regulator?
I had exactly the same problem with my 1996 Dodge Intrepid. The fuel pressure regulator was leaking which caused flooding of the engine if the engine were off for the right length of time. Too short and the engine did not have time to flood. Too long and the fuel evaporates and engine is no longer flooded. Just right and the engine is flooded and hard to start.
What is the reading of oil pressure gauge before engine starts?
Oil pressure shouldn't register at all until the engine starts and builds up pressure.
How do you fix a flooded engine on a 1996 Caravan SE?
If by flooded, you mean with fuel, there are two solutions. One is to leave the engine alone for a while (an hour or so should be plenty long). The other is to hold the gas pedal on the floor (do not pump it) while starting the engine until the engine starts. Give the starter a break periodically, don't crank for more than 45 seconds continuously or damage can occur to the starter. If by flooded, you mean with water, it would depend on how long and what kind of water is involved. Repair could be as simple as flushing the engine, or as complicated as a total rebuild.
How do you start a 1994 530i that is flooded even though you have new plugs in it?
hold the throttle to the floor and while doing so, turn engine over and let engine rev up (do NOT overrev) before taking your foot off the throttle. When it first starts, it will run very rough and blow black smoke out of the exhaust as it burns the excess gasoline in the cylinders.

Park the vehicle in an area where you can go forward without hitting something. Place gearshift in 2nd gear. Do not push the clutch in and try to start the engine. If it starts and lunges forward the safety switch is defective.
What do you experience when the vehicle starts from rest?
When a vehicle starts from rest, you may experience a slight jolt or movement as the engine engages and the vehicle begins to move forward. You may also hear the engine revving as it builds up power to propel the vehicle. Additionally, you may feel a gradual increase in speed as the vehicle accelerates.
