Welcome to the club! Similar problem here except it doesn’t have to be cold. No codes and runs great otherwise. Haven’t figured it out yet!

The thing is it idles great. It just doesn’t want to start if you turn the key to start immediately. I have to turn the key to on and let the fuel pump run then start. If I try to start immediately it just cranks. I think it’s fuel related but I’ve changed the pump and filter and run cleaner through the injection system. As soon as it starts it runs great. Same symptoms whether the temp is cold or hot.

Not since before I replaced the fuel pump two months ago, which it was doing at that time. What other areas can allow the bleed off? I need to check it again. I know I have a problem with the pass side sending unit as I have been running out of gas at a quarter tank, which is a common problem. It’s so frustrating that they designed such complications into these cars that problems like this exist with only 60,000 miles on them.

It’s my understanding from researching the out of gas at 1/4 tank issue is that it’s usually caused by the transfer valve on the pass side sending unit/filter housing. I haven’t changed letting the tank go below 1/4 since I changed the fuel filter except for the other day when I let my son drive the car. He let it go slightly below 1/4, being ignorant if the problem, without it running out of gas. I’m wondering if I jostled something back into working again after I changed the filter. I’m going to drive it to below a 1/4 and see if it’s working again. I’ll carry a spare gallon just in case.

The point is that you shouldn’t have to wait for fuel pressure to come up. The system should hold fuel pressure. I e never driven anothe fuel I jected vehicle, and that includes everything from fire trucks on down, that required waiting for fuel pressure. If that’s normal then it is a very poor design.
