300E wont start

I know that this subject has been covered a million times but my car is acting strange. about a week ago I went out to go to work at 5 am and the car would only turn over, it wouldn't hit one bit. I ended up taking my porsche to work. I came home and worked on it. At the time there seemed to be no spark, so I replaced the coil. walah it ran. now a week later the car is doing the same thing again, but it will start once the weather warms up around 2 in the afternoon? then it runs fine until the next cold morning. I can hear the fuel pump running and the cold start valve clicking under the hood. any help would be appreciated this is driving me crazy..... thanks in advance

Check the distributor cap and rotor.

I will do that, last night I finally got the car to start around 3:30 pm and it ran fine once the engine was warm took it out to dinner and it never missed a beat. This morning I'm driving the porsche again. It cranked and cranked but no fire. thanks
