What causes a bad start on a Vortec 5300?
Sounds like a bad intalke plenum gasket. When these gaskets fail they get a crack that lets air in causing a misfire. As the engine warms up the gasket expands allowing it to seal up. On a cold start spray a can of brake clean around the base of the intake plenum and see if the condition changes, if it does replace the gasket.
