I think I may be having the same or a very similar problem. In the morning or when it is cold it starts and then it dies unless i give it gas.

You're in cali?

I doubt it's a problem with it being really cold. Sure the motor is cold in the morning after sitting at night, but in your climate that shouldn't be a problem.
