For cold starts, check your battery first. It could be just discharged. Also if you have too heavy of an oil it will hard start in the cold. Another thing I figured out with a honda, was the Engine Coolant Sensor was bad, causing hard starting in the mourning because it controlled the computer before the oxygen sensors were hot enough to work.

I have a 2000 jimmy with the 4.3 and i had a problem with it cranking but not starting. Chased the problem all over but finally my mechanic told me from experience with theses trucks that an ignition sensor in the steering column was shot. it was a fuel cut off apearently for the security systems in these trucks. it didnt seem temp related but didnt really notice. once it was replaced i havent had a starting problem since
