Message If the regulator is experiencing an internal failure and dumping fuel into the intake manifold, it could be causing a partial hydrolock situation which would put a strain on your starter. After several minutes the fuel would drain into the crankcase.

Have you checked your oil for the presence of fuel?

I don't think your fuel pump controller is to blame. You need to find out why your fuel pressure is dropping off so fast. With an ohm regulator, you should hold fuel pressure for a long time after the fuel pump cycles on. You likely have an internal leak somewhere. Either your internal pressure relief valve inside the fuel tank, or your regulator or damper has an intermittent internal leak, dumping fuel into your intake
