Have cold starting issues have to cycle the key 3+ times. Replaced the battery, fuel filter. Then had a fuel pressure test done reads 52 psi so it turned out not to be the pump or fpr. Replaced the spark plugs today and the plugs were miss gaped to over .o56. Replaced the plugs with autolite with correct gaping. What else could be going on if the spark plugs doesnt correct the cold starting problem

Try testing the engine coolant temperature sensor its job is to enrich the fuel mixture during a cold starts-just like a choke on a carbuerator-
