My gas injected 460 has been getting harder to start when cold. Starts fine when warm/hot. 6 months ago it started within 1-2 seconds just by turning key. Now it takes sometimes aminute or more and I have to pump accelerator several times. Replaced plugs, wires, fuel filter, cap/rotor. No change. My first guess is a sensor. Don't most sensors either work/don't work? Runs fine after starting.

Hi no sensors can just be out of range, then they will
work just not properly have your truck scanned
the temp sensor and the fuel pump relays are often culprit for this prob. but a good scan should isolate this prob
