Try turning the key on and wait 5 seconds, then off.
Immediately go back to on, and wait 5 more seconds, then engage start,
This will get the line pressure back up to 58 PSI for the injectors.
BTW, pumping the pedal on a drive by wire system does absolutely NO good.
That is what I did. I turn the key on and light up the dash without starting the car. Waited a few seconds then turn it off. Then turn the kay back on. Eventually it would start. I have owned this car 14 years. The first 4 years I drove it every day. The past 10 years it has been in the garage and driven just once a month for a nice long run. Always started immediately. I never had this problem before. It just seems strange that it is happening now. Could the fuel filter be dirty?
