Long Cranking to start Hard start problem. The problem started after I did the TB bypass(don't know if it's related) but i unplugged a couple things to get to the steam pipe and didn't put it all back together. I got a code P003x and it never came back after I connected everything and deleted the code.
The next day it took 3-4 tries to start it, unless it had just been started. I went and re-soldered the BCM just to make sure which didn't help much, except for the windows/radio.
The day after that I checked the fuel pressure at the rail and it dropped to 10 in a couple of minutes so I had my fuel pump replaced. When I went to pick it up from the shop they almost couldn't get it started to get the exhaust welded. SO my question is what else could cause this, because it always starts, it just takes about 4-5 tries now?

So I used about half a can of MAF cleaner and that didn't help. When I went to start it on the second try the fuel pump didn't prime and I had to crank it to get it to prime. I'm think fuel pump relay but I want to make sure.
