Default bad cold weather start.

normal start sucks cold weather. Put small ceramic heater under hood last night and no start problems, no doubt some sensor is being affected but which one. Also when it starts idle is low butcorrects itself within a minute. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Most likely the coolant temp sensor.
