Well with the fuel injection. If you're pumping the gas to get it started you may just be flooding it out and it all has to clear out to start after the fact.

You're going to have to be more specific before we can give you any real help.

Yeah, typically a fueling problem. Either the cold start injector isn't doing it's job while cranking or the fuel rail is loosing too much pressure at rest or the engine bay is too hot and the fuel is vaporizing in the rail.

Does this occur all the time, only when cold or only when hot?

The easiest thing to start with is pulling and cleaning the cold start injector. Is your car a turbo or N/A?
