Welcome to the garage.
The first thing which came up in my mind when reading the header was: fuel filter/regulator or o-ring in fuel pump assy. But you changed both already. Was the complete fuel pump assy replaced, or only the pump cartridge?
Did you check if fuel is coming out of the fuel rail after priming but not yet starting, just to be sure that there is not a pile of air in the line?
When you run it for a while, stop the engine and start after 10 minutes again, does it start normally or also long cranking time? Did you check the plugs after some cranking without starting to see if they are wet?
The crank sensor and cam sensor are used for fuel injection sequence and synchronizing. A bad sensor can/will prevent the engine from starting, but why would it then start after some cranking and not give problems anymore thereafter? I don�t want to say that it is not possible, but sounds strange.
