Scraper:

My '02 was behaving just like you describe (I live at 8000', and have had some sub-zero mornings in the last few weeks). like you, it would start fine throughout the rest of the day.

I considered replacing the batteries, then found this thread. I changed out the GPR with the NAPA GPR109 ($25, and about 15 minutes), and when I had my oil changed (at the dealer) I requested a winter weight oil - they put in 10w-30.

Starting problems GONE - starts like it should. I think the GPR was the ticket, but with the lighter weight oil (which I'm sure helped), it sure runs quieter.
