Check the fuel pressure. It takes more fuel to run a cold engine. Test or replace the coolant temperature sensor. It is used to control injector on time.

Default Big Thanks To *****MD TAHOE****

Hey I just go around to replacing the coolant temperature sensor
just like you told me and now she is fixed.Big thanks to you and my pocket book because it was killing me to warm her up for 15 min everyday just to drive 10 miles up the road. Its running like a new truck.
