Check valve in the fuel pump maybe bad. Next time its cold try cycling the key to on for 3 or 4 sec then off then back on a couple times before starting. This will prime the fuel system and build up the necessary pressure. If it fires right up than that's your problem. You can either just deal with it or replace the pump.
