It could be the vacuum line to the fuel pressure regulator (fpr) is stuffed or the fpr is which is not holding pressure on the rails.

Could also be inlet manifold gaskets leaking into the cylinders.

Try turning the key to reds for 5 secs, not starting the engine. Then turn the key off and then back to reds for another 5 sec to see if it starts faster.
