Also check the banjo connector on the pump itself which supplies the 
injection line. My cracked and SLOWLY leaked away the fuel
from the lines making it difficult to start. The banjo  connector let out 
a very fine spray that would not drip, just atomized it. I could only see 
it while running. But first bet would be the checkvalve though.
