Possibly the fuel pressure regulator is sticking or leaking. There was a recall, not sure if it's this year. If you like post or pm me with the last 7 of the VIN, and I'll check.

The regulator will probably take care of it.

There's no recall on the regulator, but an intake manifold gasket recall has been done.
