Trouble starting from cold start after plug/wire replacement

I just changed out the NGK plugs and replaced the wires to the TE66 wireset. Verified the correct wires were attached. It idles perfectly and seems to run fine. I go out this morning and went to start up and had problems starting. It took a couple tries for it to turn over and ran rough for a few seconds. I then drove off and it ran fine. I got out of work and went to start it up and it took about 4 times of me cranking it over before it turned over. Once started it ran fine again all the way home. Looks like it does it on cold start ups. Any thoughts????

Before I blamed the plugs and wires, I'd recheck the vacuum connections--especially that one on the front of the TB to that throttle opener thingy. A few have to come off to change plugs and if they are not back on tight it will cause this kind of problem. Also verify the intake tube compression band.

Thanks Durk... I did check and there was a vac line on the top rear of the intake tube before the TB that looked to have come out. I'm an idiot. Will see what happens when I start it up in the AM
