As years ago i had the same problem u are having .
First i added a gauge to my fuel line, drove the car until the engine heated up (water gauge reads 1/2 way)
then parked the car,, next morning went out . ( with no other moves ,opened the hood) showed 591/2 lbs)
had my wife start car as i watched the fuel gauge i had installed . As soon as the engine started to spin
the fuel pressure went to 12 ,,,the second try the pressure went to 60 the car started . I replaced the fuel system with a manual fuel regulator with a return line with a check valve in going to the engine also added a new filter because the stock fuel filter and regulator are incorporated in one
THIS! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ what jim said ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS!
