R50/53 Hard/barely starting in the Winter.
So I came up with a very scientific method of testing. A nice cold day and a can of starting fluid has at least confirmed that this is a fuel issue. To make matters worse I have good fuel pressure, which leads this to what I think is a computer issue, which then steps back to a sensor or relay. This is where the plot thickens without it throwing any codes, I don't for the life of me know where to start at this point.
Since I seem to be babbling to myself on my own thread, here is what I figured out tonight in case anyone else runs into this issue. I noticed as I was battling with the car to get it in the garage, the fuel pump wasn't cycling. I did a little searching and found where the fuel pump relay was, there also happened to be the same exact one in the circuit next to it. As soon as I swapped the relays, the pump primed up and she started with no problem.

hopefully you found it!!
it sounds like you did, but l'll cross my fingers for you!!
I hope I've found it also. I really want to start trying to make this thing faster, but making it start has certainly taken precedence.
