Exclamation Hard starting and intake misfires when cold

We have a '97 Dodge RAM B2500 Van with the 3.9L V6 Magnum engine.

It has always started rather hard (2-3 keys to get it running).

Thought the replacing the IAC valve, spark plugs, ignition coil, dist. cap, rotor and wires would make it run better if anything.

After this it started to misfire in the intake (Throttle Body) when the engine is cold. After a few minutes everything is back to normal.

Any idea on what would cause this engine to misfire right after it starts?

A bad coolant temperature sensor, the 2-wire one, not the 1-wire one.
