When it doesn't start, have you checked for spark and fuel to the engine?

Let me know.

It could be. Its purpose is to tell the computer both the ambient and coolant temperature. With that info, the computer determines how rich to make the fuel mixture. If it is too lean, it will be hard to start when it's cold.
