Not an uncommon "problem", and there may be nothing wrong. Get in the habit of giving the throttle a little kick once it fires on a hot start and it won't die.
Run whatever diagnostics you want, but I would not recommend replacing parts, apriori, unless you find something that is definitely out of spec.
Tough cold, not hot starting can make the OVP suspect, especially if the ABS light stays on.
