Default crx 91 si, rough cold start help [me]

Hi their,
I have a 91 crx si with a sohc zc,
Recently I installed a kill switch through the ignition after I removed the alarm and found their was one split through their already. I removed that one and put in my own.
Now I'm having rough cold starts. I have new ground cables that are 4 gauge[ I'll post pics of them later because I think those might be the problem
I think it might be the kill switch, because it's only a 20 amp.
My question is;Is their any other reason for a rough cold start, and if I wire a kill swtch through the ignition should I use a 30 amp switch, also If I leave my key at the on position for a while, then press the clutch, it starts fine, and If I'm parked on an incline my front facing down, my car is also harder to start.
Could it be my kill switch, starter, fuel pump, ground wires, or main relay
"I dont think it's my ground wires because once my car is on, it actually runs better[electric wise] than before.
thanks ffor taking the time to read thias and for your help

Same. If you leave the key on "on" before starting it, youre priming the fuel pump. I pretty much have to do this anyway to start my car, and i dont have a kill switch. My bet would be on the fuel pump.

I'm also thinking the fuel pump
I put like 10 bucks of gas in it today and it doesn't do it anymore. I don't know what it could be, cuz once it starts it's fine
