There is a sensor that tells the car to use more gas on a cold start. When it's not working it causes the car to have a lot of trouble starting until it gets to optimal operating temp.

For the life of me I can't remember what that sensor is called.

 

Fast idle thermal valve?

 

ECT.

 

No not that, but thanks

Pretty sure it was this, thanks.
