[s-cars] cold weather starting

Here's another cold weather problem.  I'm having starting problems at 
high altitude, (8500 ft.) and 0 deg. F., after sitting over night.  I've 
tried checking the resistance on the sensor on the back of the engine, 
but that seems ok.  I haven't tried pulling VAG codes, but will do that 
next.  I was told by Fred Munro that the engine has a cold starting 
procedure that allows the injectors to spray longer at lower 
temperatures, but I don't know how to check that it is going into the 
cold starting mode.  Has anyone else seen this problem?

It will eventually start when I jump the battery to a car that has the 
engine running, but can't get it to fire otherwise.
