If this works on a every time bases that you have to use it after the car sits overnight you know there's either bleed down of pressure or a weak pump on initial start up. Getting your pressure chk'd with a gauge will either eliminate or confirm a weak pump & point you in the direction of a weak fuel pressure regulator.
