I haven't experienced my car stall during cold start in the 2 years i've owned it. Does it throw any codes ? when does it stall.... in the first couple of seconds or longer ?

on cold mornings, around 40 f or colder. stalls within a few seconds. 2nd ignition cycle a few seconds later perfectly fine. 50 degrees and above not a problem

did you happen to have filled your tank the evening before you shut your car off for the night?

if 1/2 tank is right around what you had left in the tank when your started the car this morning then the problem I was going to suggest is not the issue.

cat warmup does run the car extremely rich but for the most part won't cause cold start issues unless your purge soleniod is hung up..

How many miles are on the car? Might be time to throw a set of new plugs at it and see if it helps. Or atleast check the gap on them and see where their at .... most run a .032 -0.30.

This could also be a fueling issue.

I can relate this to the problem people are having when running E85. Cold start ups require you to turn the key to "ON" to prime the pump (you'll hear it whine), then shut the car back off, then turn it back to "ON", prime again, then start.
