Ford Fairmont struggling in the cold

My EF Ford Fairmont struggles to idle while it's cold. After it's been running for a couple of minutes it idles ok. Any suggestions?

The cold starting system isn't working; it's probably not getting the correct fuelling at the start, so check the sensors to make sure they're working.
