Cold Start issue on a 94S with a 2.3L

I have a problem which appears very common on a 2.3L. It takes much cranking to get it to start and the problem worsens as the outside temperature drops. I have read many many posts of suggestions but none seemed to have a definitive resolution. So far I have done the following:
Replaced spark plugs with NGK, new distributor cap, rotor, fuel filter, fuel regulator. I have cleaned and lubed the AIC, cleaned the throttle body, cleaned the temp sensor. All of this has had almost no affect on the cold start. Once started it runs fine and recently passed Connecticut emissions. I also wired in a switch so I could run the fuel pump for awhile before trying to start (in case the check valve had failed) but that did nothing to help the problem. I guess I will try another ECU next. If I ever get this resolved I will certainly post my solution. Anyone have any suggestions?
