Fuel pressure issue?

Hey everyone,

My 09 s550 has been running alittle rough lately amd it takes a bit to first start up in the morning. After it warms up it runs much better. I am suspesctng fuel system. Did a fuel pressure/leak down test and my findings were:

A) fuel pressure went to 45psi from a cold prime w/o engine running

B) fuel pressure leaked down to 30 psi in 10 minutes

C) pressure bounced betweem 55-60 psi. W/ engine running


Any thoughts? Maybe fuel injectors or fuel pump check valve?
