Default Cold start problem

I have a 1999 1.8t that has a cold start problem. When I haven't driven the car and try to start it, usually in the morning, it starts then dies right away. Then I try to restart it and it takes forever to crank. I hold the key to turn for 3-4 minutes before it starts. Then it idles really rough. But after it idles for a few minutes, it runs and starts fine.
I looked at previous posts and there were no real answers.
I've already replaced coil packs, ignition amp, spark plugs, fuel pressure regulator, injector, coolant temp sensor and tried a different ECU.
I use 94 octane. The check engine lights comes on after I have the cold start problem and gives me random misfire codes...but on a hot start the car starts right up.
Thanks

Default The engine is flooding when cold

Most commonly this is either bad injectors or bad FPR. Could be fouled up or misadjusted plugs too. Did you replace an injector or all of them?
