It sounds like you do not have fuel in the fuel rail like you should,it is possible your fuel is draining back into the tank when it sits,it is not supposr to,also pumping the gas on multi point fuel injection engines does not help,put yor key to the on position and see if you can here your fuel pump,it should come on for approx 4 seconds,this is to charge the fuel rail.
