the Fuel Pressure regulator is going bad in your fuel pump, its either put in an inline FPR or replacing the fuel pump its self... or you can just cycle the key twice before starting it up everyday...

anywhere from $120 to $200 depending on brand and from where... the IFPR is usually only around 20 bucks..

More info about the IFPR? I laugh at the looks I get when it turn over for 10-15 seconds before it starts. Or if I'm in a hurry, I just turn the key twice. On the other hand, I'd feel more dignified with a lady in the Jeep if it did what I asked the first time...
