      Could be crap in your fuel tank getting sucked into your pickup or filter and clogging it until it settles out.

        the thing is that before my FPR the fuel is pressured enough so i think i got 1st degree chem burns on my face when i pulled out my FPR but after a minute or so with the return line unplugged from the FPR fuel spits out and my car starts right up.

          Pumps can be intermittent like that before they go. Probably the pump.
