Rough starts with cold weather and Kenji ECU?

Ive been noticing lately that as the weather gets colder, my car has been starting roughly. Last winter when i had the stock ecu, it didnt seem to start this hesitantly. My battery was replaced last winter, so im wondering if anyone who is also using Kenji's ECU seem to have the same characteristics when they fire up their car in cold weather.

How long has it been since you changed your cap and rotor?

I always wonder that this Kenji thing passes DMV inspection?

If you have emissions it most likely will not. Especially if they try to plug in the obdII reader system. Stock ecu or a friend with stickers is the only real options.
