Have you discussed this with your tuner?

You may have to reduce the amount of ethanol in cold weather.

I tried calling my tuner but no answer. How can I reduce the amount of ethanol?

Look at the Calibration -> Ethanol -> Ethanol ECT cranking table and either post the calibration or tell us what is in it.

i think i figured it out. in the cranking fuel trim table, the 1st column from 0 rpm - 2000 rpm i raised it by 15% and the car started.
