Default Low Fuel Pressure After Injector Swap

Hey guys! I have a 2001 XJ Sport and I swapped out the fuel injectors with some 784s I got out of a couple Statuses. I cleaned them, put new o-rings and pintle caps on and did an Ohms test on each one. They all work awesome! After installing them it wouldn't start until I built up fuel pressure. My issue is that I have to build pressure every time I start the engine after sitting for a while. I have checked for leaks around the injectors and there aren't any and there is no gasoline smell. I have reset the computer, but it still does it. Any suggestions?

Have you checked the fuel pressure regulator?

You need a meter on the rail. With the key on acc, with the engine ruining, and with the regulator disconnected from vaccum.

Thanks for the responses guys. It ended up being a fried battery. Put a brand new battery in and fixed a lot of other issues I was having
