Cold Start Problems 700


Alright, I've finally had it with all of my Cold Start problems, I'm wondering if anyone can help me narrow the problem down before I replace everything (AMM, IAC, Cold Start Injector).

In the morning, my car almost always stalls after the first start. It usually takes 2 or 3 re-starts and then she runs fine.
The only time it doesn't stall is if I let it idle and warm up for at least 5-7 minutes. If I try to take off before it warms, the idle drops to like 400rpm's and stalls. It's weird too, because if I give her a little gas while it's about to stall, it stalls immediately. It's always worse if the outside temperature is cold too, is that weird too?

I guess my question is, does it sound more like a bad AMM, a bad cold start injector, or is it the IAC? Could it be the fuel pump check valve or the fuel pump regulator? Any suggestions before I just start replacing stuff? I want to nip it in the bud before it gets really expensive.

Thanks
