Why does it start, idle very, very slowly, then die?
When it idles are there any engine check lights illuminated? It could be a sensor at fault - such as the crankshaft sensor.
It could also be a failed fuel pump.
Your best option is NOT to fit new parts one after the other in the hope that it will cure the problem.
Give a mobile mechanic a call and get him to do a diagnostic check and give you his opinion. It's worth paying somebody who knows what they are doing..

How do I reset the distance to empty
The DTE is automatic and is the result of your previous miles per gallon multiplied by the gallons of gas registered in your tank.Unlike the Trip miles, this DTE number can not be reset. It will vary by the fuel mileage per gallon recorded at each startup. That is why if you filled the tank and showed 400DTE you may have had 20 Gallons multiplied by 20 MPG. But if your new average is 16 MPG then it would show 320 DTE.
Won`t start when cold
No such thing on your car.The temp sensor tells the computer what the engine coolant temp is.If it were faulty you would get a check engine light.I would have the fuel pressure checked before and after you crank the engine. The pump relay provides power to the pump when you turn the key on to recover some of the lost fuel pressure after the car sits. The one way valve in the pump is supposed to prevent the pressure from dropping. If the fuel pressure drops to zero it could take some time to crank the engine enough to get it back up.
