Engines require more fuel when cold, and even more again while cranking. If the problem appeared after installing the microtech, take it back to the installer/tuner and get them to fix it.

Or go back the the standard ECU and all problems will be fixed.

yeah it's pretty much certainly going to be due to the tune on the ecu.
