Well first off i have replaced the battery/battery connections, alternator, and connection to the starter. It wouldnt start about a week a go and i pushed started it and then replace the connection to the starter. And it ran perfectly fine for about a week then now it takes about 10 mins to start. It clicks over and nothing happens for a while.. I try to start it and give it gas for about 5 mins and it starts right up. If i shut it off and it start back up.. or if its been sitting for about a hour or two it takes two turn overs and starts up. I am not leaking gas or and fluid. But it takes about 12 hours or overnight it take a while to start. Sorry this is kind of confusing. The cars been sitting for about 3 months and i think it just needs some fuel inject cleaner and full tank of gas and it will work good again. But any suggestions it could be something else? Might it well change the starter?
 
You might try checking the fuel pressure regulator to see if its leaking. Normally fuel pressure should stay there many hours or even days after car is turned off.

well i had a aftermarket FPR then put stock one back on and nothing was leaking

drop that gastank to see if theres anything built up

Is that my last option? that seems pretty hard
