New CSI, CSW, STILL HORRIBLE Cold Start ups...
Alright,
I recently bought a brand new (to me) Cold start injector and a cold start switch off of ebay to try and fix my horrible cold start issues..
My car in the mornings will fire up immediately but as soon as it does it starts running like crap, chugging, and just flat out not running good at all till you feather the throttle a little bit...
Now, even with the new parts on there, it STILL acts the same way...
Can someone please offer me some advice on what to do or check so I can have smoother cold start ups?

Any Codes? also check the coolant temp sensor next to the cold start injector switch, make sure its plugged in securely and also check the connector for corrosion.

Have you checked for power to cold start injector/cold start switch? It seems that your right about the cold start system as being at fault and i think changing the valve/switch are good places to start but you should check for power when cranking to ensure there's no broken wires.

Tugging on the prongs in the connector?

yea it could be broken a lot of place or even though its connected it could have a bad contact.
