no power or start when cold

As many of you know from my previous post my truck when it is below 50 outside will start and idle ruff and have no power until the engine warms up.

Now that is has gotten colder it doesn't like to start at all and when it finally does you have to keep a little bit of throttle on if you let off it dies and if you give it too much it dies.

Ford fixed some the glow plugs about a month ago and that helped with the starting but didn't help with the no power till warmed up issue.

The dealer hasn't been able to find anything else wrong yet but it is going back monday.
