Question 300E 1990 Cold start nightmare please help

I have tried a lots of things to fix my problem but it still does it...
When I start the car first time, It start but stop right away.
After 4 or 5 time that it does that, it start with very low idle 400-500 and after few seconds it's good to go. If I stop it and restart it is perfect. the car runs perfect on the road.

Here are the parts that I have replaced.
-fuel filter
-air filter
-OVP
-Cold start valve
-Coolant temperature Switch
-Engine Temperature senor
-Fuel Pump check valve
-spark plugs (bosh non resistor)
- added techron 2 times.
-Sea foam treatment
-checked injector and vacuum hoses with starting fluid for leaks

Total spending so far: +- $350.00

I really need help fixing this problem, also I don't know if it is related but the low oil light and low gas light doesn't work anymore.
I really tought it was the OVP at beginning because I had a bad voltage regulator And I had to boost the car about 20 times to come back home.

Please any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks
AJ, Vermont
