This car uses a very complex fuel vapor recovery device that can cause this problem and does on a regular basis. You need the dealer to fix this as special testing procedures are required.

Do the RPM's hold stead when engine is started or does is go up and down? If this is an issue try replacing the check idle valve and the mass airflow sensor. The on board computer could be getting incorrect data from those sensors stating not enough air is entering engine for a proper air/fuel ratio

I just read that the fuel pressure regulator on the 2004 Sentra can bleed pressure overnight, resulting in long cranking times in the morning.

there is a fuel cutoff safety switch in the trunk. re-set it by pushing the button on top

Try checking your fuel pressure. See if your fuel pressure regulator is working right

try the fuel filter...sounds like debris is plugging the screen then when you try to use it , it stalls, the debris falls after a bit and it starts again

take a look at all the sparks plugs one may be out or has come disconnected.

You will need to run a fuel pressure test on it to see if your fuel pressure is correct. How many miles are on the car and when was the last time the fuel filter was replaced.

yes it sounds like your fuel pump is going bad
