Have the mechanic check the coolant temp senor for the computer when its cold. It maybe reading the the engine is at a warm tempature and leaning out the fuel mixture. I have seen this and the vehicle would not start because it was to lean of a mixture. By warming ever thing with the heater you maybe changing the readings thus changing the fuel mix.
