95 1500 hard starting

I have a 95 1500 with the 350 and 5 speed manual that has been costing me an arm and a leg to get reliable. I'm very close to fixing everything but one last thing I can't quite figure out. When I bought it, everything seemed fine but it started giving me a small engine stumble under acceleration, that evolved into barely running. After timing it, fixing some bad ignition wires, and rebuilding the throttle body everything was OK. Started acting up again and that was just a bad connection to the battery that new cables fixes. For some obnoxious reason after that it purrs like a kitten once on but is a nightmare to start. Since the hard starting occurred I put a new map sensor on it. I'm going to do a coolant temp sensor, fuel pressure regulator, spark plugs and wires this weekend. It could use all the above but I'm not sure if that will fix the issue. Fuel pressure up to the tbi is good and it seems to me like a fuel pressure issue on startup, but I could be way over thinking. Any ideas?
