sounds like you have a leak on the fuel side and its drawing in air and the fuel has probably run back to the tank so it has to pull it all back up hence taking time to start,you need to check fuel connections for split pipes etc

Fuel pressure sensor on the common rail could be the problem. A star scan would give you the live data for the pump pressure Etc.
