Default Starting Problems

alright, i bought it about 3 months ago and when i bought it, it barley wanted to start. its been getting alittle better, but what happens is i have to pump the gas to start it.. i might sit out there for a hour or it will start up on the first go. i took it to the shop and they told me i just had horrable gas, so i ran about 4 full tanks with fuel and carb cleaner. dident really make a diff. when ever it was cold out side, it gave me hell trying to start it, but when its pretty warm out side. it seems to start easier.. any ideas what it could be??

I would check the tps voltage at closed throttle, and also check the coolant temp sensor. Make sure those two sensors are in spec also.
