I just made a thread about this last week. A lot of peoples LNF's have this problem but it seems that most people just ignore it. I will have to take a look at the Evap Solenoid. Some people also mentioned that it may be my BYT tune which it looks like you also have.

I just noticed this last night, it got cold and when i started my car i got a horrible rattling noise for 2-3 seconds which is probably my Cam Phasers not parking correctly, but the car sounded cammed and stumbled then it was fine

I love seeing threads like this and then being ignored when I say that the majority of the times the issue lies in the tune. Sometimes it's of course not and can be a sensor or mechanical issue but 8 times out of 10 it lies within the tune itself. Ask sully20 about his experience and subsequent resolution to his constant hard start issues he had with his tune before I fixed it. It's not to say the tune is "bad", I'm just simply saying that quite a few cold start issues that are happening below 40-50* or so are usually tune related and are easily fixable.
