Hard starting, quits at hwy speed

This problem is driving me nuts! My 2001 I30 with 3.0L won't start, I've figured that it won't start until I see the SES light come on, so I will cycle the key until I see the light and it will then fire, I also can hear the fuel relay and pump cycle at that point also. It will quit while I'm driving as well, I pull over, cycle the key until I see the SES light again and it will start. Any ideas?

Have you plugged in a scan tool to pull any codes?

P1211 is the injector pressure control sensor and P1612 by the looks of it is because the ses light is on so sounds like maybe that sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced
