check the iat sensor, also make sure the grids are heating. the grid solenoids may be shot, or a poor ground at the intake...

the long crank time can mean not enought heat or no fuel. but i would assume you don't have an air locked fuel system.

not enought heat
I am very certain ruffneck is talking Celsius when saying 15 - 30 degrees. 59-86 is the 8F conversion.

Sounds like a failing injection pump diaphragm. Hard starts when warm is a symptom of a cracked diaphragm.
