325i Hard to Start

Hello Everyone,

I have been having an issue start my 92 325i lately. Since I changed my fuel pressure regulator last year (old one was leaking) the car would become hard to start when I would be low on fuel (1/4 tank or less). It would always crank and then start on the second try. As of late it is happening all of the time, again starting up on the second try after cranking for a few seconds shutting down a cranking again. Once the car is running, it runs fine except the occasional dip in the idle at a full stop, which has been around for as long as I have had the car. With a two year old running around, a baby on the way (next month) and the pregnant wife who is having a hard time, my time is extremely limited. I am wondering if anyone has had similar issues and might be able to help me fast track the repair. I am planning on changing out the fuel filter and cleaning (for starter) the IACV. Thanks
