Default 94 caravan 3.3 long cranking or no start

Hi
I have had the van for 3 years and haven't been able to fix the problem.

Changed plugs and wires
Cam senser
Fuel pump

None of that made any difference. Sometimes in cold weather it won't restart after running. It has spark but not gettin fuel. It is sitting in home Depot parking lot right now. Usually it will start again when it is good and ready. Looking for any sugestions. Is there a relay that runs the fuel pump?
Thanks in advance for your coments.

thers a FP relay in the Power Distribution Center
ASD relay can shut off the FP too
could be corrosion in wires to these relays

u try giving the tank a whack with a mallet?

Went to Home Depot 2hrs later and it started -2below - after its normal 15 second crank.
I'll have to check out the FP relay conections.
I replaced fuel pump a year ago because of the same problem.
My hearing isn't to good, can't hear the pump unless I'm outside the van.

Thanks for the tips
