Default help please having cold hard start problems

i have a 1999 silverado with 5.3, i just bought the truck 2 days ago so dont have alot of history on what has or hasnt been replaced that being said, on cold start or after its been sitting the truck doesnt want to crank or turnover and is difficult to get started but once its running it runs and starts fine. i have just put in a new battery,new starter, and fuel pressure is at 60 lbs constant. i also checked fuel pressure reg and its good. i tried priming pump with ignition cycling a few times first but it made it harder to start. take it easy on me im not joe mechanic i do what i can , any suggestions would be appreciated thanx.

ha, good luck getting any help in the future with a response like that. Sometimes people dont know the answer, and sometimes the right person just doesnt see your post before it gets buried.

So what was the problem you bitter old grump?
