Car's Hard To Start

Got a wierd issue. 2000 TA is hard to start pretty much anytime. After it starts it runs great but if I shut it off and try to start it again, nothing. I have to sit and crank it over quite a few times before it'll fire. I've got good fuel pressure at the rails, doesn't throw any codes, new fuel pump has been in for close to 6k miles. I've changed the plugs cause this is it's nice way of telling me it's time but it didn't work. I've checked all my plug wires with a multimeter and they are all fine. So I'm at a loss right now as to what is going on. I'm going to pull the fuel rail off tonight to see if I have a leaky injector but if anyone has any other ideas throw em out..

Oh the car is a H/C car with AFR205's, FAST90/90, 30lb injectors, racetronix fuelpump..

Does it start easier if you push down on the gas pedal while cranking? I'm thinking it might not be getting enough air...

Naw it's the same if I do that. Had another guy tell me it might be the ignition relay cause I don't get a code, security light, nothing. I'll try swapping it out when I get home...

Yep it was the relay. Came home and swapped it with the starter relay and it fired right up. Swapped em back and it fired breifly then died. So ran around to Checker and picked up another one. Woohoo..
