Default 93 accord EX no start when below +39 degrees F

here's a good one for ya all. my car will not start when the temp gets below 39 degrees (approx) F. when i crank the engine, it'll crank over like there is no problem, but will not start/fire up. doesn't matter if you try it many times or not. if the temp outside is low enough, it'll just crank. i cleaned up the fast idle valve (which was reallly dirty). checked for vacuum leaks, found none. checked TB and it was a lil dirty but cleaned it regardless. Plugs are practically new and look great. I know it's not a battery type problem cause it has plenty of juice and cranks great. if i wait for the ambient temp to rise to a higher level, boom bada bing - it starts right up like there was never a prob. other than the starting prob, not much to say but it runs great. Any ideas people? thanks
