Default Hard to start when cold

1990 ES250
This vehicle is a hard starter when cold. Takes 3 or 4 tries on cold mornings to fire up. Fine after that, unless it sits for several hours. Does this vehicle have a cold start valve, crankshaft positioning sensor, or both? I need to test them both but since I can only get ahold of a camry chiltons manual I'm not sure.

You sure its not something more basic. Like a battery, starter, or coils?

Id check the basics before looking deeper into it. Just in case.

I think you might find it more helpful to post in the ES300 Section, So other ES250 owners can give some feedback.
