Any advice appreciated re problem that's got progressively worse on my Chim

When engine cold, car has got very hard to start over last few days

Is used daily and always used to fire up immediately on turnover with no throttle

Lately if it doesn't fire first time, it's harder and harder to start and needs full throttle to eventually fire her up after many attempts

Fuel pump primes ok on disarming and starter spins well just doesn't want to start from cold any more

Once running and warmed up no issues and restarts no problem when warm

Any advice appreciated, doing my head in now

Thanks in advance

Ah I did think temp sensor, where is that located and is it easy to change?

Thanks
