2003 Cold starting problem

Will not start in the mornings unless it has been plugged in or gets a little shot of either( and i mean little). After staring it runs fine without any smoking and pretty smooth for 177k miles. It has new batteries and fuel filter.
From reading other threads it could be something with the heater grids or a bad injector leaking off pressure. My question on the injector is, if i have one leaking off pressure why would it start when the temp is over 40 or it has been plugged in.
What other things should I check before having to take it in?
TIA

After you have cycled your grid once, maybe twice, get out and grab the bottom of the intake horn.
