try unpluging the cold start to see if that helps. I did that with my car and i'm still having fuel issues. It keeps fouling out my plugs....

Air Regulator is the most common culprit for cold start issues... Check that first.

The other items mentioned though can also cause you issues.

Yep, it just has a hard time idling when cold.

It could be CHTS, AFM, Cold Start Injector, Air Regulator, or even possibly an exhaust leak, and from my problems, maybe even your ignition. Once the ignitions begin to go goofy they seem like they become tempermental to temperature.
