Can injectors contribute to hard starting? Coincidentally my fuel economy has been tanking over the last couple years, along with hard starting below 25F...

Most definitely. Injectors and the IP provide the fuel. The fuel must be atomized by the injectors properly with good spray pattern , matched to each other. Pull the injectors to inspect, rebuild, calibrate them. Injector nozzles should not be caked with wet oily soot. A very light dry soot is ok. Don't forget new heat shield if you pull the injectors.
