Answer
Hi
It really sounds to me like your fuel pump is your fault.
If you can start it everytime with some help, that is almost surely what it is.
Best advice would be to hook a fuel pressure gauge on the test port, and it should be between 60-66psi.
If ANY lower than 60, the fule pump is bad, and it WILL not start.
I hope this helps.
Good Luck
