Could be a cold start issue. there is a water temp sensor near the thermostat. when you start your engine first for the day it will show the engine to be cold and therefore the computer will do a 'cold start', meaning using more fuel. but this should throw a computer code. if you are not getting any codes from the computer then check for a vacuum leak. like the EGR vacuum line for starters. the egr should be closed when the engine is cold and open as the engine warms up.

Hard to start cly 3 missfire smoothens out fast

You might want to pressure test the cooling system and remove the #3 spark plug. After the pressure tester sits on there for a few hours look into the combustion chamber to see if there is coolant. Misfires like these can sometimes be the result of a leaky head gasket. Also white smoke in the exhaust can be a sign. I assume the spark plug looks good?
