98 blazer hard to start, help

Alright, I have a 98 Blazer w/ 4.3. For a while now I have had to really crank it over for a while until it starts. When it does it acts like it barely starts...sputters for a couple seconds. I thought it was a fuel problem but the other day I did it and I smelt a lot of gas, so I figured it was getting plenty of fuel. I have no power loss after it is started...it runs perfect. Any ideas about this. I just had the fuel injectors cleaned at the dealership also. Thanks for the advice!

Have you tried the regular maintenance issues?

Fuel filter
Air filter
Spark plugs
Cleaning the intake and EGR valve
Cap and rotor
