Hi lately my truck has been hard to start in the morning. It cranks fine and after 5-8 times it finally starts though its not a very smooth start. It seems to be getting worse lately. But it only happens after sitting for a period of time or overnight. Other than that it runs fine and starts properly when being started multiple times during the day. I got a new starter about a year and a half ago and also recently replaced the spark plugs. What could the problem be?
