Starts hard when cold. Almost like it is out of fuel.

HI, to all you SVX owners out there. I just did a engine swap and the only problem I have it that it has a hard time starting for the very first time of the day. It is almost as if the car was out of gas and is being started from empty. As I pupm the gas as starting there are lots of somewhat backfiring going on. Then it slowly starts to fire off and then the engine is runniig in the high RPM in the choke mode. Then mintues later the choke kicks down. After that it runs great. I live in Boston, MA and it get colder here. I have checked all the hoses and I do have a "CHECK ENGINE" light on. I have not quite worked out getting the codes just yet. hoping that could be the answer. I did look into the codes, but didn't find one that had something to do with the choke or anything thing that worked the fuel. Has any one had this problem? Thanks Bill
