You lookin' in my mirror again?
I see the same thing, so I was just askin'...
As for the hard cold starting problem, your car should be equipped with a cold start valve (injector) and cold start control. Failure of this system will cause protracted cranking and very difficult starting when the coolant temperature is below 104°F.

check your fuel pressure, it's likely bleeding off considerably faster than it should.
