Whn trying to crank my truck for the first time the engine will turn over but not start. After two or three attempts; it fires right up. It cranks fine after being driven and warmed up.

HI:
You need to check the fuel pump pressure when it's cranked for the first time of the day. If I remember correctly, it should be near 45 PSI.

Let me know what you find.
