...same problem i had a couple of years ago.. Car sat overnight, then engine would crank normally, but not catch until 2nd or 3rd time.. or stall immediately after starting on first try...
the fact that the priming of the pump addresses your problem, would seem to indicate a bad/dirty fuel pump check valve, as you suspect...(the white valve is the one to replace)
.. It's a pain to replace, because there's not much slack when you cut away the old one.. and you need a special tool to press the line onto the new valve..so not much wiggle room. I was going to try to replace it myself, but my mechanic offered to replace it for a $100.. Money well spent..
