Hi Hammertime,
I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend.
I was told to start with my fuel pump, and yes it fixed the starter problem. Then very soon after, my, "service engine soon" light came on. That is when it read a code of fuel system lean on it. Two seperate codes, of the same code.
As you suggested, I had the vacumm hoses checked and sure enough, as I shared, we found two places wehre it needed repair. Done. Two days later, the light came on again. Now I am at wits end. One mechanic ASSURED me over and over, that if it was an injector problem, it would run hard, and be very noticable. It doesn't. (Originally, three to four months ago, the dealership had said I had a bad injector, couldn't tell me which one, and said I also had a bad fuel pump. He said, if I fix the fuel pump first, I would be left flooded since the injector was bad. I haven't been left flooded, and I had the pump fixed about a month ago. When the light comes on, it runs fine....maybe a little change, but not enough to even be noticable. I am thinking we missed another vacuum hose. (fingers crossed)
There you have it.
Worn out.....ready to push car into lake.
Peace,
Gmcjimmy

It can be a vacuum hose, intake gasket, leaky intake snorkel or even a bad or dirty MAF sensor.
The injectors can be tested by doing an injector leakdown/balance test if they have the equipment and know how to do that.
