TTA Hard to start

Hey Peeps. How many TTA owners we have here in V6 land? Got one that doesn't like to start until the oil pressure hits about 30psi. Once it starts in runs fine but shut it off and leave it sit for a few hours or overnight and she's hard to start.. won't turn over until 30psi again and then fine.

I'm told cam sensor, fuel pump relay, Oil sending switch Yada yada yada.
Does anyone have any clear explanation or had this problem before.

Sounds like the fuel pump relay. Basically if the relay goes bad, the fuel pump will still run off the oil pressure switch, so you have to build oil pressure before the pump will run.. An easy test is to turn the key to 'on'. If you don't hear the fuel pump prime, chances are it's the relay.
