Isn't this one of the symptoms of a belly pan (plenum) gasket leak? I
understand this essentially creates a vacuum leak which could necessitate
some additional cranking to start when the engine is coldish.

P.S. I have a 5.2 with the same prob and I know I need a new plenum
gasket. If I'm off base somebody set me straight...
