305 won't start on cold morning

Had a freak frosting in VA today and tried to start my camaro this morning and got nothing but cranking. It cranks and cranks but no start. If cranking on it long enough intermittently wants to start. Hooked up jumper cables still nothing. Little bit of carb cleaner nothing. When cranking the SES light comes on and then turns off. New plugs wires cap rotor distributor air and fuel filter O2 sensor new map sensor.
Just had the motor rebuilt and put in less than a week ago. Started fine eveytime up until this morning.

Any other suggestions other than take rad cap off and pull new one under it?
Thanks

check the CTS to make sure it is the right ohms for the temp the
sender is at-with faulty CTS,ECM may not give enough
enrichment for a good cold start.

Forgive me for my lack of knowledge but is the CTS the connector under where the map sensor is. If so that connection there looks a little toasty. Could that bad connection cause it to stop working all the sudden. Also where could I find another connector like that anyway, would like to replace since it can't be good to be burnt.
