Default Hard to start but runs good

I have a 1998 with 360 and 4x4 automatic with 180,000 miles.

Has starting issues as I turn key and crank it over few seconds then shut it off and crank again till it starts. Once running it is fine. I have replaced spark plug wires before starting problem. The engine light is not on. Not sure if I have a furl problem or electrical issue. Please help

It cranks normal and has a new battery. It spins over like normal just takes a few times to start. Once running it will idle and drive ok.

Check your fuel pressure. Could be leaking down when you turn it off.
