Default still getting lazy starts

I got a 93 accord
I swapped out the starter relay last week and the starts aren't as bad now, but still lazy.
Had a load test done, alt and batt are both good.
What else could it be?
The starts are only lazy if the car has been parked for 8hrs +

Try this; turn on the key and wait for the check engine light to go off, then crank.
This method allows the fuel pump to build full pressure and the injectors can spray a better mist.
How old are the spark plugs?
