Default Start up problem

Ok after dealing with the starter I got this other problem. I takes about 20 tries to start the car up. Once it starts up if you turn it off it may start again but if you leave it for a while it won't start.
by the way it an 87 with 4+3
what can cause this problem?

Put a FP gauge on the rail. Turn the key to "ON". Do you hear the FP prime? What does the FP read? Turn over the car until it starts. What is the FP now?

Suggest your FP relay has gone bad. You are prolly running on your oil press switch. If not,...suggest your FP is going bad.
