If that's cold as in cold after sitting overnight, then the first thing I would do is get a fuel pressure gauge on it and find out what the pressure leaks down to after several hours. There is likely a spec printed in a book somewhere. If you have no fuel pressure in the morning it will likely start as you describe. Other thing to try is consciously turn the key to the "on" position at first start in the morning to prime the fuel system for 5-10 seconds, then crank it over. If that helps then you probably have a bad check valve at the fuel pump.
