1999 hard to start

It doesnt matter what the outside temp is the car is hard to start after sitting, i've changed the fuel pump and regulator, it made no difference it acts like its losing pressure after sitting and only a long cranking session will get it started. The tank was as clear as water with barely a speck in the bottom when i had the pump out so im inclined to think there is nothing clogged, there is no port to check pressure like most cars and nowhere to add one in b/c of the oddball connections on the lines and there are no trouble codes, no check engine light
ideas?
