Tuff starting..

Hi,I have a 96 f150 5.8 and if it sits more then a day it starts hard or wont start on the first try and will kinda sputter then take off,when warm it seems to start fine and it doesnt always seem to do it,kinda like the fuel system loose's its prime or something..Any one had any experience with this? I changed the fuel filter awhile ago and ran some injector cleaner..

This might sound stupid, but make sure your battery is good. Low voltage coming from your battery will cause all sorts of weird things to happen. Just a thought.
