Turned out it was leaking fuel injector seals. Once running there would be enough fuel pressure to indicate no leaks, the seals would expand. As the engine cooled the seals would contract thus causing pressure leakage leading to hard starting.
I'm not sure if there is a seal repair kit for the Metro.
Citydragon, Thank you for the info, I will replacing these seals and let you know if it solves the problem. Donsrepair
