A lot of times when the car is hard to start when it is cold, it is the mass air flow sensor causing the problem. On the newer vehicles the mass air flow sensor acts as the older choke worked. It limits the amount of air flow. Which will make the engine start faster and easier.

HARD TO START ENGINE WHEN IS VERY COLD

I read the other two solutions top your problem and I have to say, some people should not give advice, because the advice they are giving is not worth anything. NOW, let me tell you what is wrong with your car. You have a defective IAC (Idle Air Control) value. The IAC value (sometimes called a cold start value) is used as a means to quickly start your car when it is cold outside. Replace the IAC (easy to do) and your problem will be solved..

Glow plug relay or the glow plugs are not working the way they should. Also check the cold start solenoid.
