Once the car is cold its hard to start... Is this car equipped with a cold start sensor or a coolant temperature sensor that may be faulty? If it is equipped with one can you tell me where it is located? Also I looked for the fuel pressure valve to perform a pressure test but cannot find it. Can you kindly locate it if it is equipped?

It has a temp sensor and it should be near the thermostat housing. As far as checking the fuel pump pressure, if there is no schrader valve on the fuel rail, then you need to check it at the filter.
