Do you turn the key to the "start" position immediately after you get in the car? If so, try turning it to "on" for a couple of seconds (such as enough time to fasten your seatbelt), then attempting to start. The fuel pump may just need a little more time to prime the fuel system.

No, I haven't tried doing this but I will today.
 
I just have never had to think of doing anything special because the car just always started right up. If it is a fuel injection problem, I hope I can get it fixed permanently.
 
Thank you for your suggestion
