I think you paid too much for it.

You need to check the cold start valve operation. Rig up a test light to the CSV connector to see if it lights up when you try to start it when it's cold. The CSV is controlled by the fuel pump relay. Begin your search there. I had the same starting problem and made my own mod. I'll post a pic this weekend when I'm back home.
