Default bolt on and new fuel pump trouble starting?

Any ideas on what would cause this? Brand new plugs and wires. Installed new fuel pump recently also.

Any help on things to check starting point on what it could be?

Sounds like a primeing problem from the fuel pump ...try to turn key on and off before starting if it starts then that's the problem

A fuel pressure test will tell you tons of valuable info. That should be your next course of action.

Sounds like it's running on 7 maybe 6 cylinders to me. Crossed or burnt wire, broken plug.
