Help with slow start

91 5.7 tpi Heres the problem.. Not always, but sometimes on cold start up I have to crank for a long time to get her to fire. When it does start, I get a check engine light. Turn it off and re-start and it's fine. Usually only does this on cold start-up. Has anyone experienced the same thing?

What code is the pcm setting when the light comes on, that will help a ton in diagnosing what your problem is.
