Hard Start on Fresh Rebuild

Like in the title. It takes several cranks to get it started. Also, my MAP sensor and air charge temperature pigtails are broken and I dont think they're plugged in all the way. I have new ones on the way but I'm curious if this would cause my hard start? Thanks for the advise in advance.

Shouldn't cause a hard start. Fuel pressure okay? Plug wires crossed?

That was my first thought too, fuel pressure.
