This will activate the fuel pump and bring fuel up to the rail. Then try and start it. If this fixes the problem/starts right up then it's taking a long time for your fuel to get from the tank to the fuel rail.

Could also try pulling codes.
Good idea, I will try that. I have checked for codes, and I had none.
