Angry hard to start cold

when i go to start in the morning i have to crank it over many times before it will start. i changed the plugs, the fuel filter, i can hear the fuel pump run. if i put a shot of wd40 or starting fluid in the air intake it will start right up, also if i plug it in at night it will also start up after a couple of tries, i was told it could be a feul pressure reg, or a coolent temp sensor. can anybody help. thanks for your time
