Kinda sounds like the ECM or "start mixture" control module is faulty or is getting a bad input from a sensor. For example, it man not be getting a proper temperature sense from the exhaust manifold or the intake manifold water temp sensor. So, every start seems like a cold start....

If your cold start is on a "cold" engine - fine. If your cold start is on a "warm" engine - problem. Mixture is too rich for a warm engine.

Again, could be sensor sending a bad temp signal... or the control module not responding to the signal.

A bit too complicated a problem to exactly troubleshoot via long distance... but you now have a starting point.... -Jim

- Fuel pressure regulator - unlikely.... If too much pressure - cold start would be ok - warm start and running would be "rough".

If too little pressure, cold start would be very rough, warm start would be ok but running would be too lean (very light plugs, pinging when under acceleration, etc.)

Still thinking that a sensor or ECM interpreter is bad.
