Default 02 trans am weird starting up

Well When i first get to the car and fire it up it goes perfectly. Then I drive it, park it, and about 20 minutes later, when I go back to start it up you can crank it all you want, then after say for about 2-3 seconds of cranking you have to let go of the key so stop cranking it and then it struggles to catch but does. and then its good to go. Anyone know why it would do that? I do hear the fuel pump starting up when i turn the key.

Sounds similar to issues I was having with my fuel pump. Do you know what your fuel pressure is with the key on and also when the car is running?
