01 Town and Country does not want to start when cold, acts like its flooded, OK warm?

I am working on a 2001 T&C, 3.3 liter. 100k on it. It is hard to start when cold, or just after cooling down after driving. If you hold the throttle to the floor, and treat it like it was flooded, you are able to get it started. After it warms for a few minutes, you can drive it. If you try to accelerate quickly, it stumbles on its nose, after good and warm, it accelerates OK.

I replaced plugs, the old ones were original, and shot. Cleaned the throttlebody, no difference. Fuel pressure is 60 psi. I pulled a plug wire and inserted a extra spark plug in it , grounded and started it. The spark looks weak to me. Also, no check engine code. I would have thought a misfire should have shown up, but it did not. When I changed the plugs, they were all 6 wet with gas. Does this sound like a coil pak going bad?????? Nobody stocks it around here, so I am thinking this is not a common failure?? ANY IDEAS?? THANKS
