Spray some carb cleaner into the air intake see if it starts that way!

When you turn the key ON do you hear fuel pump run for 2 seconds? If you hear pump run for the 2 seconds do a fuel pressure test with a guage.

Also when it did run it always take a few second before it start like I have to keep the key turn and hold it for about 3 to 6 second before it start sometime I have to try starting it for a second time but it alway started
