94 Nissan Altima not start in early morning cold weather.

Hey All,
Now that we are in the fall and are experiencing cold weather my 94 Altima will not start in the morning when cold. The day has to warn up then it will start. I notice that if there is dew on the car in the morning it for sure wont start. Later on in the day when warm after mid-day then it will start.
Any Ideas are most welcome.
Thanks.

How old are your wires to the plugs?

See page 194 to check for spark

Good luck Telcoman

Coolant temp sensor? Or mass airflow sensor? Try unplugging the maf sensor. The car might start in limp mode and then continue running once you plug everything back in.
