Listen very carefully for the noise when you turn the key to the on position do not start the engine if you hear the noise then its probably the pump.It will run for a few seconds when you turn the key on if not I think you may have a vacuum hose leak.

Yes you need a gauge and a T fitting to test pressure in the fuel rail. Also there is a fuel pressure regulator that might be leaking. What I'm driving at is that at night the fuel pressure may bleed off in your system so that the fuel pump has to prime the entire system before the car can start.

I couldn't say without looking at the workshop manual for your particular car, sorry. Strangely enough, there is remarkably little standardization among automakers. But it would be good to check the fuel rail pressure before you go barking up the wrong tree.
