Hard starting when cold

Well ?I hope this isn't a big issue.

I have an 87 with tbi in the morning 2 day's in a row now. I have a very hard time starting the truck. It cranks fine and tries to start but sputters and dies. Today I had to give it kinda half throttle to get it going and feather it a little. Then it ran fine. Started 10 time now since?????

I'm thinking maybe tps needs adjustment or could it be something simpler??? When driving it always seem like the engine is holding me back (I have 700r).

Any thoughts??? Idle adjustment sensor.???


PO said new fuel pump, filter, map sensor, tune up etc.

Ebrake was stuck on I think that was the hold back feeling. I'll see how it starts tomorrow.
