I'm going to take a wild stab at this.

Per chance, do you have the airbox preheat inlet closed off and the thermal valve tied off? Is the preheat side blocked off with a pipe 'cap?' If so, is it possible that whatever you tied it off with has come loose and as a result, when your car is cold, it's trying to draw in air from the side that's blocked off?
