another cold cranking question

i changed the shutoff relay,batteries were old so i put new ones on.the only way i can get the truck to start quickly after sitting a long time is to have someone to hold up on the shutoff solenoid or to press the gas peddle a little while cranking like it says on the sun visor.thanks

If you follow the instructions on the visor and it starts fine then what's the problem?

Don't let the engine accelerate, as soon as it starts to come alive let off the throttle. Have someone watch to make sure the shut off solenoid is pulling all the way up when you hit the starter.
