This is one of the things I was leaning towards.

If it fires up normally then you may have a fuel pressure regulator problem (leaking).
You might want to check your battery starting voltage too. It should not drop below about 10 volts when the engine is turning over. If it does then you have a weak battery.
Good luck and let us know what you find.

My fuel pressure gauge is reading zero prior to start. Fuel pressure is at 52 as soon as the car starts cranking and at idle. Pressure is also stable. It doesn't matter how many times I prime the fuel pump prior to start, fuel pressure reads 0 at the damper until cranking. I did find out that once the car is idling, if I turn it off and wait 5-10 seconds then turn it back on, It fires up like normal every time. You're saying fuel pressure should remain around 50 even if the car sits for an hour? I do notice a strong smell of gas right after startup. Possible leaking injector?

I'll take a look. What symptoms did you have?
