try turning ignition to on (red lights on dash) for about 5 seconds then turn off and repeat a couple of times before attempting to start, may be fuel regulator bleeding down.
won't be O2 sensors as they are not used until operating temp is reached
when you changed plugs did they look ok
suspect weak battery for first choice, fuel issue 2nd choice and head gasket 3rd choice
