Hard staring 302

my 94 F-150 4x4 has a weird problem...when you start it in the morning it cranks over and fires in a split second, after it has been driven warmed up it will start harder if i shut if off and back on in a very few minunits, but if i let it cool down i have to tap the gas peddel to get it to fire and it takes about 15 seconts to get it to start up...i replaced the plugs a few weeks ago...the had never been changed for the whole of the 125k+...i also want to beable to get better millage...i have i think 3.88 or 3.56 gears and 31'' tires and i get about 10MPG any one have any sugesstions? my 351W gets better millage by almost twice!

sounds like you arent getting fuel. Might be the fuel pump or filter. Does it run fine when it runs? Could be injectors too.

i dont know about injectors, its a multi port injection, the fuel pump and tank (front) was new about 45k ago, never had any trouble (knock on wood) with the fuel pump, i think it might be a clogged Fuel Filter would that make any sense? i can build an engine it;s the other BS that im not 100% sure about
