after about 10 start attempts, finally starts.
engine warm,idle,pump 56 psi.
quick accelleration test,64 psi.
pinch return fuel line test, 60 psi.
what should i do? replace pump? replace central mfi?or both?

I never worked on your type vehicle so my comment is generic:
Have you checked the cold start sensor, if there is one?
