I would run the vehicle and check temp on cold start and also as the vehicle is operating to see that the engine temp is correct.

with the correct pressures ,no codes , and the poor starting the ECT is most times the problem ..

possible the injector grounds/wiring but once it starts your good so it goes back to the ECT.. one other possibility would be the IAT .. if that reports the wrong temp it can cause a poor start..

so you have engine temp and the intake temp being sent to the computer to provide proper injector on time.
