Wouldn't start

I went out to my car today and turned the key the car just sat there and turned over. I tried starting it for about 5 minutes and it just wouldn't catch. I heard the fuel pump turn on and prime the system, but the car just wouldn't catch. However, after a few minutes of cranking, I finally decided to use the gas pedal a little and the car fired fairly soon afterward.

The last time I drove the car was Saturday and it was cold that day (35 degrees outside) and today it was about 68 outside when I tried to start the car. Am I looking at a Coolant Temperature sensor issue here? Maybe crank position? I know the TPS is all right and the MAF is all right as well. Thanks in advance for any advice.
