Somewhere in the mid 50 psi range, last time I checked I think mine was 55 psi.

Figure out what you aren't getting. Fuel or spark. Then check for error codes.

Think back and determine if the weather was damp when it would not start, and dry when it would. If so look to the plug wires and spark distribution for leaks that allow humidity into the sytem.

Today I did the fuel filter, pump relay, and fuel pressure regulator still take 4-5 seconds to start. Let see if these changes help!!
