Problems Starting up a 02 Explorer Xls

I've been having a problem in the morning with my explorer starting up. I've had it into the dealership and they couldnt find anything wrong. My starter was just replaced a few weeks ago and they said its not that. This problem only seems to happen when the engine is cold like in the morning. If anybody has any suggestions to what it might be please let me know..Thanks

Yea I get it started.....usually after I try to start it the second time it usually starts but its almost as if the engine barely wants to start. Like i said its been in the dealership and they checked the starter and all of the other starter components and they said everything is fine.

sounds like it may be a fuel pump problem

you say barely wants to start ! do you mean crank over or fire up?

If its fire up,after starting does it idle wierd, verylow or surge
IAC valve,numerous sensors
If its slowy cranking over
