Strange cold start condition when not full of gas; coincidence??
Okay, this is a weird one...
'87 5KTQ running great, starts first crank when hot. However, I'm now noticing (three tanks worth) that when I have a full tank of gas, the car starts on the first crank cold (regardless of if the accelerator is depressed or not), but then cranks progressively longer as the gas level lowers (only when cold)?!?
Coincidence, or affects of a dying accumulator and / or pump / leaking injectors?
Feel free to call me nuts, but it's the only variable that I can come up with that has changed...
Thanks all...

I currently have a cold start problem, but not the exact affects. When my car is low on gas though and i start it it starts worse and almost wants to die out. I have to give it gas because it feels like it just doesn't want to start. This happens to me when the tank gets very low, like on E.
