Default 2011 ram 1500 starting issue

A few days ago I got the remote start and the truck wouldn't start it says remote start disabled. No biggie it has happened before. And no it's not low on fuel. So I went to start is manually and it wouldn't start, it just kept cranking over and wouldn't stop cranking. So I turned it off and tried again, the same thing. So I restated it but with the pedal to the floor to stop fuel so it wouldn't flood or at least more than it might have. After a good 30 seconds it finally fired up. No check engine light. This morning the wife took it to work and the same thing. Any ideas?

The wife just came home from work. She didn't use the remote start, just got in and turned the key and same thing it kept on trying to start. She shut the key off and held it all the way to the right and then it started. Seems something with the quick start.

Verify The Fuel Pressure.
Maybe the pump is weak or if it has a regulator, maybe its bleeding off pressure.

How would I do that? There's no Schrader valve and I don't have the specialty tool. I do have the launch x431 pro scanner but I couldn't see anywhere for fuel pressure. I see it as an add on in the torque pro app but couldn't get a reading.

Could it possibly be the fuel pump relay starting to go in the tipm?

Looks like that relay bypass was the issue, all good now.
