Wtf! Still Cold Start Issues.

They reprogrammed my vehicle with the latest and greatest and I am still having cold start issues. It all started with fouled out spark plugs, they replaced those, it starts again! Now I have to keep my car in the garage otherwise it has problems when it is running for the first 5 min of driving which is convenient since I live 5 min from work. How do I fix this damn thing so it runs smooth like it did in the summer.

My has has been getting worse and worse, now it won't start on a normal occasion. The plugs keep becomming fouled.

The dealer believes it has to do with a stuck open valve. (This is very bad)

Replacing the plugs will not fix the issue.
