    I would remove the throttle body and clean the piss outta it. Then clean the MAF sensor aswell.

    I'd also prime the pump once or twice and then remove the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. If you smell gas or see gas drip out, the diaphram inside has failed. Thus leading to longer cranks and slow/choppy starts.

    Well, this morning I was with her when she had to leave for work, car didn't start regularly. So I had her hold the accelerator a little bit, and it started right up. However there was a strong smell of gas right after startup, so I should probably be looking to replace the fuel pressure regulator?
