Trouble starting please help!

I have a 1994 7.3 Turbo Indirect Injected diesel that started having trouble starting yesterday.After cranking for awhile it does start and runs fine once it has started, it just really doesnt want to start first off or after it has run for awhile. I have noticed that it has been idling a little ruff lately.I replaced the injectors this past winter and changed the fuel filter this morning.Does this mean my injector pump is going bad? ANY help would be great Thanks!!
