So I have a problem where the colder it is, the quicker it starts. At freezing it will start on the first crank.

When it's warm, it cranks and cranks and cranks, and finally starts.

Any suggestions?

Oh, and my search turned up close to 5700 results.

The big one, 2 wires w/ snap plug, that one sends to the ECU. Check your wires as well, tug on the wires at the plug.
