Default Hard Start-ups When cold

89 L98 with lots of mods. Problem after she sits over night in say 60 dgree or colder weather she has a hard time starting the next morning, unless I close the wire loop between the temp sensor on the front of the intake manifold, then she'll fire right up. Only does it after sitting. I have replaced fuel pump, filter, checked the pressure along with changing the temp sensor, still to no luck. When I posted my problem in the tech section, a member mentioned that my ecm may be bad, is there anyway to tell, or just swap to see if it works. Thanks to the replies in advance......
