When I had a problem with cold starts a month or so ago (would need to give the car some gas to keep it going) it was recomended that I change the temp sensor (I did get an occassional CE code for the sensor). It didn't help my problem (although it magically went away about two weeks ago), but it's only like a $20 part, and I changed mine in about 15mins, so it's worth trying.
