Default sc300 hard cold start

Ive done alot of searching on this issue,but ive found no 300 problems on cold starting.I dont think there is a cold start injector on this car?
To start in the morning I have to floor it and crank 4 sec two or three times then it will fire but pop and burble and then will die I start it up again two more times then I can get it to idle on its own to warm up,kind of like starting a old car with out a choke this happens every morning and is quite annoiying after about five minutes it will be ready to drive.Once its warm its starts right up fine and no driveability issues with it at all.

might be the battery too b/c whenever i start up my car when it's cold outside it sounds very weak like it's not gonna start up but after i bought an optima red top battery it went away...

I just bought a new bat same thing
it turns over fast but no fire right away
The engine acts like theres no choke,what sensors are directly related for cold engine start up?I checked the IAC and its working fine plus its fairly new
when I got the car it didn't have a thermostat instaled I thought that was weird,it had a new radiator put in and a head gasket was done,maybe the ecu temp sensor?

change ur plugs. but make sure u leave your plugs out for a couple of hours to let the gas evaporate from inside theclylinder.

You might have sticky injectors causing your to be flooded with fuel creating no or bad spark.

good luck
