1997 Chevy Malibu 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 169000 miles

I have had the fuel pump, and fuel filter, starter, cam sensor, and fuel distributor all repaired.My car does not start when the temps are low, but let the temp raise above 70, and it will start. Is there a quick fix for this?

Don't wait for any temperature change, Do below to catch it

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
