According to Bentley, cold start injector started with LH2.4 in 1989.

I have a similar problem, and haven't yet resolved it. ECT is the first thing to check; there's resistance and voltage specs for it in the FAQ for various temperatures.

Another item high on the list would be vacuum leaks; extra air that the AMM doesn't know about means leaner than expected fuel mixtures, which are bad news for cold starts.

I would imagine that injector spray pattern might be more of an issue in colder temps. My guess would be that most other things would have a similar effect at warmer temperatures also, but I suppose that all things being equal, lower temperatures make combustion more difficult in general.
