engine coolant temp sensor i'm helping someothers with the same problem but its on swapped engine and the signal isn't making back to the ecu i'll be fixing that this weekend but anyway. I went out and unpluged my engine temp sensor(at 5 am) to see if it really made a difference in starting WOW truck wouldn't start pluged it in started right up. Now yours is most likly just not within the correct value so the engine is thinking its warmer than it really is or there is a break in the wire somewhere. 20-30 bucks for one at autozone.

I had a car that had a leaky injector that had problems similar to what you are describing.
I never actually fixed it, I just learned to turn the key to run for about 3 seconds and back to off 2-3 times to pressure the fuel system back up.
Someone mentioned leaving the key on for 30 seconds to build pressure - I don't know about your particular model, but mine would only run the fuel pump priming cycle for about 2 seconds, this is why I had to flip the key back and forth.
Not a fix but maybe this will point you in the right direction.
Thanks,

well i will see about getting a vacuum and fuel pressure gauges and another temp sensor. Thinking i should get one somewhere other than Napa. and go from there . there is 4 inches of snow outside this morning and it 30 degrees and it takes for ever for it to start yesterday it was 50 and it started fine...

What about ignition coil(s)? When mine went bad it would crank and crank in cold or damp weather - eventually starting after 10+ cranks, and then would run perfectly after that. Had no problems starting on warm dry days.

Had no problems starting on warm dry days. That could be a option there. but they where changed about a year ago but i guess that does not mean anything.
