Cold start problem...

[liju@travelin.com]

Hey guys:

I've been experiencing a severe cold start problem for a while now. My mechanic 
says "its just the cold weather", but i think it might be something else.

When I start up each morning, the engine turns like its never going to start but 
when I let go of the key the engine sort of reluctantly fires up. Every once in 
a great while it will just start up without any hesitation.

The thing that puzzles me is that if I start it up within about 45 mins. of last 
shutting it off it starts up with no problem. Any thoughts on what it could be?

TIA.
