Default 1995 Dodge Dakota SLT 4X4 Fuel Injected 3.9L Magnum V6

Bought the truck the other day. when warm it started up perfectly. After sitting overnight and trying to start the engine cold it sputtered and choked and the only way i could start it was to give it extra gas with the gas pedal. Even then i had to keep revving it up and it took almost 2 minutes to achieve a steady idle. Some suggestions were to put in a new gas filter and fuel injector cleaner. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong.

Tons of possibilities. One I would say is the coolant sensor.

There are 2. One 1 wire for the gauge. One 2 wire for the computer, replace that one.

i've got a bad iac that does this in the winter time.
you can test the temp sensor with a volt meter. specs are in the fsm for temp and resistance curve.
