Default hard cold start - bogs on acceleration

I ve looked through older posts, but just thought I would look for fresh comments/ ideas. 1986E 4+3, new bosch II's from Jonathan, - problem existed before the swap, EGR 1 yr old, tested with a vacuum, operates
correctly, new fuel filter, fuel pressure 43 lbs., New battery.
I looked for codes, straight 12's.
Cold engine - cranks over 10 -12 seconds finally starts, press the accelerator engine bogs, if I dont release the pedal it will stall, after
warm up (closed loop?) engine runs fine.
I have been in a situation where it wouldnt start for five minutes (VATS is disabled) .
Any ideas?
Tom

Sounds like a cold start injector problem as far as the starting. The poor cold running may be a temp sensor issue. That's where I would start.

I thought cold start injector only comes into play when the temp is less than 35 deg.

bogs on acceleration:
I know you said the fuel pressure is 43 pounds but have you checked the small hose on the fuel pressure regulator for fuel leaking out of it. Fuel rail bleed down times(is it holding pressure with the engine off)?

yes, I checked for fuel leaks,

I need a new ALDL cable so I can run datamaster, my old laptop with a serial port took a major dump, and my new laptop doesnt have a serial port and all the USB to serial coverters wont work.
