'05 ARC; cold start "sputter" is driving me nuts!

I have done searches so this is just a rant: I've had my '05 ARC (39K mile under warranty) in for a second time today because I could barely get it started Sunday morning after a 40* evening (Chicago). It just barely catches followed by "clunk, clunk, clunk" and dies then it startes up fine. I had it in last week for the same and they replaced the TB and plugs but it was in the upper 50's every evening last week so morning starts were fine. My warranty is up in two weeks and this my first SAAB with one. I had several 9000's that started flawless for years and years. The dealer also said the same summer fuel issue you all said and that he is having a lot of problems with all the 9-5 including the 06-09's. He told me unless he finds something specific, there is nothing he can do for me. My ECU has all the latest software loaded. ARRRG!
