make sure your spark plugs are good condition,
not all battery perform the same at cold weather, even new ones

Thank you.I've found that turning the key to the on position and waiting for the beeping to stop before starting the engine helps me out in cold weather...
I agree, the fuel rail must be loosing pressure as the car sits. Where would this check-valve be located? I might attempt to replace it if its not too expensive or difficult.
^ good point, I have another thread (older), linked below...

in which I was asking about oil viscosity as I thought that might be the issue. I usually run 10w-30, but have also recently purchased 5w-30. This car uses about a qt per week, so I'd like to think its all switched over to 5w-30 by now. But I am planning for an oil change in the next couple of weeks. I started this thread, a new one, because as you might read in that link, I ruled oil viscosity out. But I do certainly appreciate you bringing it up as it could definitely have been an issue if I were running thicker than 10w-30....
