You might want to run some fuel line cleaner through your fuel lines, they could be getting clogged but as more gets through it clears out.

Fuel line cleaner, seafoam, fuel filter, fuel pump. Heck I tried everything fuel related when mine kept dying, dropped about 300 on different components including a MAF and the whole dang problem was my pcv valve and line. You can check all of your fuel components in 45 minutes tops.

Try turning the key to Run, and listen for the fuel pump to prime it, about 2 seconds.
Turn key to Off, repeat that 3x THEN crank it over to Start.

If that fixes it, your fuel pump check valve is letting fuel pressure leak down when it's not running. Pretty common problem.
