Default Cold start problems

If anyone can offer any suggestions why my car is reluctant to start when cold, it would be appreciated, to date I have changed both the temperature sensors, idle control valve and the fuel pump relay. The car takes three to four turns firing each time and running for a second or two, but after maybe fourth time keeps going, you then can hear it over fueling, as if on full choke. When its warm it runs fine, and starts ok even if then left for several hours in the cold.

It’s a 1600 K series taken from a Rover 216 donor, which seemed fine when I was driving it.

Thanks
