The 2 things that I would check 1st would be:
1) Compression test- low compression will cause hard starts when cold
2) Cold start injector- its there for a reason, and if not working properly,will cause cold starts to take a lil longer.

I'd start by testing the cold start injector and cold start time switch.
A little searching goes a long way...this is a fairly common issue.
