Hard time starting

I have a 1985 Ford F-150 with the 302 fuel injected. The truck has become hard to start just recently. I gave it a tune up and that was no help. I was looking for any other suggestions on how to get it to start better

Do you have a code reader?(available from Auto Parts Places or your local wally world)
Its ALWAYS Best to know what part is malfunctioning before you go and start guessing and just throwing parts at it (Gets expensive!) So get a code reader, plug it in, and post what you have (The numbers will give you a clue where to start first with the first number being the first part you locate,inspect, and test)
OR you can ignore these suggestions, and just throw your money away. (you already wasted money guessing that it needed a tune-up...although it might not had hurt anyway.)
