Gentlemen, the multi-meter doesn't lie -- checked the plug for the injector on no. 4 cylinder, and one of the prongs on the injector body was bent and not making contact with the plug. Fixed that, sprayed it with DeOxit, and the car fired right up. Cold start problem solved.

But, there's still more work to do -- the car idles near death at start up, and then "hunts" quite a bit, surging up and down.

I'll keep digging and let you know what I find.

Thank you all for your helpful advice -- you guys really helping to keep me sane through this project. -- Joe
