    sounds like your sucking air in the fuel, could be a bad fuel line, or pin hole in a fuel filter, this happened to me once. check the filters and go from there

    Check the fuel filter housing, is there any fuel in the see through canister? I have the same issue when parked slightly uphill, I fill the fuel filter housing with diesel, it will start backup after a few seconds of turning her over. Could be sucking air somewhere as well.

    You might need to look into the fuel lift pump.

    If your referring to the fuel back check in the back of the head, they do go bad, but I never heard of them causing the symptoms your describing. if it were bad it would cause a hard start after engine was off for several hours not minutes. let us know what you find.
