You don't need to hold the key, it is a momentary contact switch. The starter stops when the engine starts or it times out.
Do you mean RS does not turn the starter motor when cold?
The slow start after a sit says "no gas in pipeline".

I've had slow start with pressure at the rail.
I've tried letting the fuel pump prime fully then turning to start. Still long crank.

List of repairs this weekend. Still have the hard start condition. It is ONLY when it has sat for hours. Like overnight. And you need to tap the gas pedal to get it to start (Don't ask me why, it just helps. If you just hold the key it will take quite some time to get starter). Either way, It will stumble for a couple seconds, then smooths out. The remote start does NOT work to start the car when it's cold.
Fuel Injectors and Isolators- This slowed the dropping psi with Key On engine Off. Engine Still sluggish on start.
Spark Plugs- I was there, why not.
EVAP line- No change
Fuel Pump- No Change
Now- even though the hard start issue is still there. The car does run much bettter after it's been started.
Any thoughts what to look into now? Currently there aren't any codes, but during the process I did have a P0172 code still pop up once. (It erased itself after the battery disconnect)
Any thoughts on what I can look into now?

I have a gauge, I'll see where I can T in to check.
I've been over the exhaust plenty of times, I'm not seeing anything or hearing anything.
I started the car this morning for my wife before I left. Still hard start.
Just turning the key won't start the car. You have to hold the key down in start and feather the pedal to get it to stumble to life. Once started Runs great.
Currently no Check Engine Light, just the hard start.
