trouble with cold starts

For the last month or so every morning when I go to start up my 92 Explorer it won't start (more like it is not getting fuel not battery related). It will turn right over on the second try. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks.

I would start with a fuel pressure test, paying particular attention to the leak down portion. A check valve could be bad, causing the fuel lines to lose pressure after sitting. You could also try this next time you go to cold start it. Turn the key on and off a few times (to pressurize the system) before finally turning it to start. See if that helps.
