89 tpi won't start when cold

I have a 89 iroc, low milage car 350 TPI that since I bought it, does not want to start when cold, you have to keep trying and trying, once you get it going seems to run fine and will restart with no problem. I know this does not have the 9th injector, could the coolant temp sensor cause this ? thanks for any help, Rob

I just had same problem with low milage '89 formula 350. Try advancing the timing, I set mine at 10* btdc and it really helped and runs great. Just mark the dist. first then turn it counterclockwise some, see if it helps, if not, put it back.
