Default Hard starting when cold

When starting my car in morning it has to crank several times before it starts. It cranks rather strong but has to turnover several times before it actually starts. Not sure what to do - change or test (no CEL on) since the car had a major service (plugs, timing belt, water pump) about 20K miles ago.

Pull the vaccum line from the fuel pressure regualtor and see if there is fuel in there.
If so then it is bad and that is causing the long crank time when cold.
