Answer

Welcome XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. Check the fuel pressure as you try to start it after it sits. If the fuel pump is loosing its prime, this would cause this. A quick way to tell is to turn the key on for 5 seconds, turn it off for 30 seconds, then try to start it. Please ask if you need more information.
