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?

If you're at 0 psi before cranking then you are having a residual fuel pressure drop issue. Now you need to find what is not holding pressure wether it be a regulator, pump check valve or injector. Need to start pinching off sections of the system to determine what part is not holding.
