stumbling on start
I have a 1995 F150 4x4 4.0. It has always run great. Lately It's been hard to start. It stumble and wants to die, but once it starts it runs great. I have gone thruogh and done a complete tune up. Plugs ,wires new cap and roter, due to some codes Map sensor and fuel pressure reg\ and fuel/air filter. I've check for vacuum leaks, none. The thing that has got me baffled is it runs great once I get it fire on all 6. Any ideas would be appresiated.

It might be losing fuel pressure when it sits. Try turning the key (without starting) until the pump primes. Turn off, prime again - 2 or 3 times. Try to start after that, and see if she fires first time.
This is not a solution, but will help figure out which direction to head from here.

watch your fuel tank levels. might have crossfilling / bad fuel pump. from what i've read on here (and now think i'm experiencing), they're junk. You can try higher octane and some fuel additive...
