what engine ? throttle body injection ? poor start means engine cranks good ? does not run .

this can be the engine coolant temp sensor on the intake manifold. also make sure the vacuum is good no leaks. especially the throttle body base area.

4.3 4x4 throttle body, cranks good but takes some time to start ? all new plugs wires cap and rotor!

since the battery cables are good & the battery is healthy, fuel filter?

did you check make sure your getting spark and fuel i had some issues with my 96 s10 and changed out bunch of stuff and still would not start i thought fuel pump which i did a few times thinking they where defective and found that i was getting no pressure at the pressure regulator and changed it out and solved my problems check your computer for codes i had P0300 cylinder misfire.
