Default Starting problems and stalled

02 Formula, 6spd, just under 70k miles. This started awhile back: I have to start my car by turning it to on and waiting for a few seconds for the dash lights to come on before trying to start it. If I don't wait, it will start up and quickly die. Once its been running though, it will start right up.

I don't know if this is related but last night it sputtered out and stalled while I was trying to accelerate. It started right back up though and I made it home. I just checked the fuel pressure and its reading ~50psi at prime and running, but it took a few seconds for the fuel pump to come alive along with the dash lights the first time I turned it on this morning. After that first start the dash lights and fuel pump turned on immediately when I would turn the key from off to on.

Anybody had similar problems?
