Isn't there a function that can be programmed in through Star Diagnose that can help prevent this from happening on cold nights?

I'm sure either Steve or Sunman or somebody else that has done Star Diagnose stuff will know.

They have a campaign which I think relate to that:
Fuel mixture problem at cold... The fix is to reflash the ECM...
