car hates cold starts...

so when i start my car anytime below 40 degrees, car does a couple different things... if i try and lobe the gas, it'll sometimes stay on, but sometimes the throttle body just doesn't respond and then the car will die. it'll start right back up no problem, but no idea. supercharged 2.2 if that matters (which assuming it will since it never did this before i supercharged). also, once it starts and stays on, if i don't hit the throttle a little every few seconds, the car will misfire and cause a blinking CEL. if it does that, i'll shut it off and turn back on and will not misfire again. i always get a p0300, not sure if that has anything to do with it but that's the issue i constantly have. any pointers will be appreciated, thanks!

It did this before I rebuilt the engine too, though. If I turn on, shut off myself and turn back on, there are no issues. Think a fueling issue?
