Car usually won’t start without starting fluid, runs fine after

My 88 gta rarely if ever starts when the engine is cold without a little starting fluid, When it’s warmed up it’ll start right up without skipping a beat. Any advice for what to check? Sorry if this has been posted before didn’t see anything in the search.

My thought is cold start injector... if you crank it longer Im willing to bet it will start.. but it may run rough for a bit til lit starts to idle properly
