Default Having to hit gas to start after installing new fuel projectors

So yesterday installed a new thermostat and since I had a bad projectors I said to myself "time to upgrade to the 784s". So did the upgrade and reset the computer after Installation and the first I did it it started up right away for a spin and all was well and driving was smooth. Later on in the day I noticed it wouldn't but as soon as I started up again while hitting the gas, boom starts right up. Any idea what it could be? Maybe my fuel pump need to be changed? Any suggestions would be helpful!

Maybe it's just because I share the air in Florida, but I smell a troll.
