Wont start first crank?

My 302 has always fired right up on the first crank until recently. Now I crank once and have to turn off and crank again. It will fire right up second try. Not a big deal just wondering why. I turn the key on and hear the pump come on and stop as usual. I have tried turning it on and off a few times before cranking and it makes no difference. If I continue cranking on the first try it will start but it is a slow start. Only does this cold and as I mentioned I can crank it for 2 seconds the first time and turn off. The second time it fires immediatly. No codes other than 11 (pass)

Tune-up?.....I find mine always starts off better and quicker with a fresh tune-up.
If it's fuel does it do it on both tanks?....One pump could be weaker if you have two tanks.
I'm not sure if IAC or TPS could be causing it.....someone that knows will jump in.

Good Luck
