The cold start valve dumps extra fuel down the intake manifold when the ECM receives a certain temperature signal from the engine coolant temperature sensor (ECT). Maybe your ECT is malfunctioning, or the cold start valve plugged. Have you tried to pull the codes?
Maybe you just need a new battery.
