Default Ether Baby

Alright guys I got a 2003 Dodge sitting here in my shop I been stumped on the pass two days. I will only start on ether but will start right back upafter shut off but if it sits for over two hours you got to give it some juice. So I went thru the usually checks I got no pin hole leaks the air dog is providing more than enough pressure cause I seen some of those with intermittiet problems and all the injectors were replaced 3 months ago at the dealer is there a possbility that the could already be bad with a horrbile batch of fuel? But that would ruin more parts in the system. Also I got signal all the time from the crank sensor cam sensor fuel rail pressure sensor and within specs while running I got about 6000 from the sensor but wierd thing is I do not show any at cranking from my gauge so could it be the pump? I'm at a lose right now any help would be great

sounds like a low rail pressure issue. injector / tube issues.

Just saw your rail pressure. I would check the fca and overflow.
