Could the fuel injectors be flooding the engine?
Are they the originals?
How long does the fuel pressure stay at 42 after you turn the key off?
Hope this helps.

Re: Wiil start after sitting for hours
sounds like injectors better ohm them or start pulling your plugs and look for real wet ones, you will get 3 code 12's when the ecm is going into diagnostic mode.
