My car has a hard time starting, I have to crank it at least 3 or 4 times before it will start, things I've done so far

- BLT
- Change from COP back to stock coil pack/wires/ new plugs
- cleaned MAF
- fuelab AFR
- new CTS
- rebuilt the throttle body/ new seals/ gaskets & FIAV bypass

These things seem to have helped the problem, but I've noticed that if I pump the gas quick while starting it will start right up first time, once its warm it will also start right away.

Ideas? Or is this just something I have to live with.
