I wonder if you have a bad check valve at the top of the tank? The check valve is in the fuel feed line. Its job is to hold the pressure in the system when the car is shut off. If it is defective, the fuel leaks back into the tank and takes a few seconds to build back up when you start the car. As an experiment, try jumpering the fuel pump before starting the car to build up pressure. This can be done at the fuse box, but I don't know which fuses they are on your model. (Try a search, I know someone has posted this in the last couple of months.) If the car starts right up after you build up the pressure, then you have found your problem.
The check valve is that big fat L-shaped fitting with two o-rings that you took off the fuel pump assembly to remove the fuel pump. Putting a new one on is kind of a hassle, but it can be done.
