Have someone check your fuel pressure regulator, hard cold start can sometimes be caused by that.

SOURCE: 2001 MAZDA TRIBUTE COLD STARTING PROBLEM

My wifes car had this same problem at about 100000 miles and after many trips to the shop it turned out to be carbor build up in the intake manifold. A fuel injector cleaner was hooked up and it helped the problem, but did not completely solve it. In oreder to get it totally clean the intake had to be removed and clean it out manually.

2009 nissan note( petrol) tuns over on key, but will not start.

possible frozen gas line from the tank to the engine disconnect and see if gas flows freely
otherwise try to warm the vehicle up in a garage or use a hair dryer to gently heat engine area at fuel intake.

consider adding some fuel additive to dry out possible water in fuel tank and make sure tank is not very very low if so add fuel.

Sometimes you can plug in a space heater and heat the engine area being careful not to set fire

How much fluid do we need to fell transmission

It varies by make. Remember most transmission fluid is locked into the torque converter and didn't come out even when you changed the filter. So knowing the capacity isn't helpful. Filling from a filter change usually doesn't take much fluid. Maybe 3-5 quarts. Just add fluid one quart at a time with the engine off. Start the engine with the transmission in neutral and check fluid level. Repeat this process until it reaches the cold full mark. Then start the engine and let it warm to operating temperature. Check the fluid level again, it should now be on the hot mark. If it's not add some more until it is. Remember all checks should be done with the engine running and transmission in neutral but you should only add fluid with the engine off for safety reasons.

Won't start when engine is cold

Could be a loss of fuel pressure after sitting. The check valve in the pump could be faulty.

There is a door in your air intake that is thermoststicly controlled
that is to remain partially closed until tge engine warms up.Thereby letting in cold air on a cold engine, causing it to run rough.

Runs fine when cold, not when warm though

The next time it won't start check the fuel pressure you should have 48-55 psi with key on and engine off.
