no cold start efi 300

i have a 90 f-350 with the efi 300, it will not start cold. the only way to start it is to pump the throttle(thats not right for a efi). i replaced the temp sen. thinking that it wasn't telling the computer to richen the mixure for cold start but no luck. any more ideas

I would try some "engine starter" spray at the air inlet....see if she kicks over then.
If so, I think it's safe to say it's somewhere in the fuel metering.
Please don't get offended....there's two senders, one for the gauge, the other for the computer....you want the latter.

I know diesels like the back of my hand but this gas burner is killing me.
