Re: Cold start
Seriously though, super cold weather can easily make aged fuel injectors leak or stick.
I personally would see if turning key to on, pushing the gas pedal all the way down, then cranking for 10seconds, then releasing the gas pedal makes any difference in the startup.
Next I would pull the up stream O2 sensor to see if the catalytic converter is causing too much back pressure.

It’s a simple way to “relieve” some excess back pressure if the catalytic converter has started clogging up.
Clogged up catalytic converters won’t necessarily toss a code, and you likely wouldn’t even notice a huge loss of power as the car never really had power in the first place.
But as they get bad, hard starts is common result.

If you have a second car try jumping the car with the issue. If it fires up right away then you know the battery is being drained by the cold.
If so buy a battery tender.

Re: Cold start
Above-20 Celsius will start farley easy, below-20 different story..Like I said try to start 3-4 times wait 15 minutes, try again .Doing this cycle about 5-6 times will finally start,each cycle seems to get closer to start.Battery is good.
