Cold start stalling.

I really need to sell this car soon as each week there is something new that goes wrong.

Anyway this is a new one. I checked the Faq and couldn't find anything exaclty what I am seeing - maybe I didn't look hard enough. Anyway, when the car is cold I will start like a champ but then quickly stall like it isn't getting enough gas. It will quickly resart run for a little bit linger then die again. Once it is warm it runs great and will start well for the rest of the day unless I let it sit for more than a couple of hours or overnight then the starting troubles return. I am stumped and need to be 100% in my diagnosis. My gut feeling is the ECT but I don't really know.

I am getting very desperate and very-very poor. I am trying to write my masters thesis so I can get a good job to support my family properly
- but this car has been a major hurdle in our plans.

Anyone want a great project?
