Default cold starts and aftermarket computers!

Hello to anyone who would like to challenge themselves.
I have a 1998 Kj laser running low boost turbo, plumb back BOV, new heavy duty clutch, new wolf v500 ecu to name a few of the mods.
The car is tuned so beautifully you would have no idea it was aftermarket except for cold starts.
it will either start then stall and this may take 3 goes. if it doesn't want to stall on the second go it will bubble then the idle speed motor will catch it and rev it up to 3000rpm and throw out a puff of white smoke of unburnt fuel. :
Tuning the start felt like we were chasing our tails on getting it even close to being right. could it be the idle speed motor? oxy sensor? crank angle sensor?
the car is awesome but this is just a little annoying. any imput at all would be marvelous.
