It is not so much hard for a car to start when the engine is cold as it is easier for a car to start when the engine is warm.Cars that are hard to start in the cold are usually not new cars any more and because of wear and tear there is more likely to be something that doesnt work as well. when fuel is warm it ignites more easily.

What causes an engine to vibrate when starting?

ford stands for fix or repair daily. but 90% of the time it is not your engine vibrating, it is the plastic paneling in your dash or in engine compartment. the engine will always shake when starting because the engine mounts give engine a little wiggle room, and the amount of torque to start and engine is kind of a lot, plus the engine is cold so it "eats" more gas to start, cold engine so less lubrication on engine parts for about a second or two until the oil pick up well picks up the oil lol

How do you start a cold fuel injected engine for a 1995 Toyota 4Runner 6 cylinder?

Starting is the same for a cold or a hot engine. Key in and turn. I must admit I think you are asking something else tho, right? Are you having trouble starting a cold engine? If so the cold start injector is probably clogged, not working or disconnected. Open the hood and look at the manifold. On the left side there will be many vacuum lines and hoses. In the middle there will be a connector coming in from the top at the edge of the manifold. This is the cold start injector. Ensure it is connected correctly and it may need to be inspected internally if the connection is good.
