My SPI is really difficult to start but only when it's cold, it's been like this since I bought it.

I'm guessing because it's injection it should fire straight up, therefore there must be something wrong with the fueling at low temperatures.

I'm thinking the temperature sensor's gone or disconnected (if so, where is that?).

Or could it be something worse?

Oh, also, it starts pretty quick with some easy start.
