Dealer suggestion for bad starts!

OKay i got to dealer to get an oil change and the service advisor started my car and he had hard time starting.
There is a thread called "changed almost everything but bad starts" something like that and its pretty much the same issue i have.
The guy told me sounds like some injector but i told him i changed all my 6 injector. So he said it looks like its not holding pressure and told me might be my fuel pump coz there is a check valve on it that holds the pressure in lines.
So he told me to buy fuel pressure gauge and put it on overnight and check if the pressure went down. If it does then its the fuel pump.

What do you guys think about this?
Sorry for the long story but this problem as alot of peope is really annoyin me and the white smoke killin me too..lol

Thanks in advance

the pressure is going to go down overnight, if it doesnt release some of it you have bigger problems.
