I think I understand why you don't feel cap, rotor and plugs are the problem at -20C. Just a hunch, but an easy check-out: Next cold morning open the hood and disconnect the AMM before putting the key in. Just see if it acts differently with regard to the way it runs for the first minute.

Reasoning is twofold. The rich limp-home mode will show if the mixture is way too lean during warmup (vacuum leak?), and it might give you some more time for the tuneup.
