Default My Truck won't start in the morning.

I have a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7 Liter Engine. The engine will turn over but will not start immediately. What I have done so far is had the battery checked and the battery is good. I noticed I wasn't getting fuel pressure in the fuel rail so I replaced the fuel pump ($269). That worked at first but a few days later it was giving me the same issue. You can hear the fuel pumping. I usually turn it to on position then off 5 to 6 times to let the fuel pump get fuel in the lines and up to the fuel rail and go for a start and it will attempt to start so sometimes when that happens, I give it a little gas and it starts up. As long as I don't let it sit for too long, it will start right up for the rest of the day. Usually just happens to me in the morning. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Start with giving the throttle body a good cleaning. They tend to accumulate a fair bit of junk in there.....
