possibly Injectors....you turn it on then you turn it off it starts right away... but if it sits over night it is hard starting.... if thats the case I think it might be the injectors.. so upgrade your Injectors... there are a bunch of threads about it...

You could have a leaky fuel injector. When they leak, they allow the fuel pressure to bleed down rapidly.

When it starts, does it start "cleanly" or does it "stumble" for a bit. If it stumbles a bit, that is more indicative of a bad injector.

Some comprehensive fuel pressure testing will most likely lead to the root cause here.
