It sounds like your engine does not have fuel pressure held up to the injectors overnight. The fuel pressure is leaking down due to a bad fuel pump check valve, or the fuel pressure regulator is leaking down the pressure. Have the fuel pressure leak down and pressures checked and the failure isolated between the pump and the regulator.
