A friend of mine has an early 90-s Dodge truck. 4 WD, and V-6 engine.
throttle body fuel injection. Sometimes it won't start when it's
cold. Spins nice and fast, but just won't catch.

I was there one time when it did this. Starter for a couple seconds.
Wait a c ouple minutes as we chat, and then it fired right up. Says
it's getting worse, and the problem is worse when it's cold.

He replaced the ignition coil. I ws thinking cap and rotor, but it
runs fine after it starts. He says someone suggeste fuel pump may be
going weak. Any ideas what the problem might be?

It won't start without fuel, Start by checking the fuel pressure

I had a V6 Ford that had the same trouble. I was to cheap to buy new parts, so I
cleaned the inside of the cap and the rotor with a good grease cutter (Dawn
dishwashing detergent). Problem went away,
