Is this only a cold start problem? Any hard starting once the car is warm?

Need more info.

Check the temperature sensor at the back of the head. This sensor is used for cold start to tell the ECU to give the car a rich mixture until it gets to operating temperature. As the engine warms up the sensor resistant (ohm) start to go down.

Could be the fuel pump check valve. You'll have to have one of the Betton CIS wizards monitor your residual fuel pressure after shutdown...

Also might be really bad fuel injectors. Again, you'll have to pull the injectors and check spray pattern and fuel amount...

Welcome to the wonderful world of CIS...
