Cool Cold start probs

As of late, I've been having pretty consistent trouble starting my 93 Ranger 3.0 V6. After the first try, it usually starts pretty easily on the second. I've ran a couple of containers of fuel injector cleaner through my system, and that seemed to help, but only at first. Any ideas?

How many miles on the truck? Is the fuel system keeping pressure after the motor is off? It may bleed off after a while and then needs a few seconds to get goin'. My '93 3.0 does the same thing, low fuel pressure before cranking, but only in the winter months. Probably the check valve seal in the fuel pump in the fuel tank, I haven't felt like messing with it yet.
