Start issue

Hello everyone, so im having issues starting my 03 f250 6.0 powerstroke. It litterly take me 3 trys for it to finally start. The first two trys when i start it, it starts and blows a cloud of black smoke and runs for maybe 5 seconds and dies both times. But on the 3rd and final try it starts blows a cloud of black smoke and runs and idles fine. Any ideas at whats wrong? Oil is fresh and fresh filters. i run oem filters on it had new injectors at 199xxx currently at 228xxx. Idk if its the glow plug system? Or the injection pump which i doubt it is cause obviously im getting fuel if im blowing clouds. Any help would be wonderful! Thanks guys!
