Default 03 Ram 1500 4.7L rough start up

My 03 ram 1500 with a 4.7L is having a rough start up. I changed the battery out, but when its sits overnight in the morning the truck barelly cranks up or it coughs on the crank up. Then the first 5 minutes of driving it coughs and sometimes shuts off when I slow down for a stop sign. It's like it is running lean or something. I cleaned the throttle body and MAF. Still the same. I was thinking maybe the starter could be going out, but that doesn't explain the choke out and running hard the first few minutes after cranking up.

Any tips or anything else that you would look at?
