Sounds like weak fuel pump.

Either check it with a fuel pressure tester or you can try cycling the key on and then off 2-3 times and then try to start it. If its the fuel pump, its on borrowed time.

Check it correctly with fuel pressure tester and if its marginal, get a new pump before your left stranded sooner than later.
