Default 2000 Bonneville starting problems. Help

Just picked up a 2000 Bonneville. Started up just fine, shut it off, and then decided to start it up again right away and it didn't want to start. It was acting like it wanted to hit, but just wouldn't. After a few tries it finally started. General concensus was I shut if off while it was still on high idle and was just loaded up as you could smell a little fuel. Drove it home and it ran great. Stopped to get gas, no problem. Next morning it started just fine. Pulled it back to the garage to do a couple things to it. Went into town, came back, changed oil, air filter, just general maintenance stuff. Won't start. Doing the same thing. It acts like it wants to, but won't. Went to my dad's house to pick up his fuel pressure tester, came back (10 minutes) hooked up the tester, made a dumb mistake and instead of just turning the key on to read the gage, I hit the starter...and it started. Tried 3 or 4 more times periodically after that and it started every time. But I'm a little gun shy now. Any ideas??
