2 secs misfire may have something to do with your injectors try a additive for injector cleaner

Try disconnecting your cold start valve on the rear of the inlet manifold and see if that makes any difference as they are known to be problematic.

They are a bit crap when it comes to cold starting but as most have mentioned, try the cold start valve, most cars start 100% better without it. Nice one Bosch
