Got it backwards dude. Rich running makes it start better when cold. Lower 
fuel mileage.

Lean running will cause hard starting cold as air is more dense when cold 
and requires more fuel for efficient combustion.

Check your coolant temp sensor resistance. Also your injector seals could be 
leaking. Hopefully by now you have checked out the cold start valve 
situation and have answers.

Keep us informed
