    Well it may have started fine all week, but the less fuel there is in the tank, more potential for water to condense out of the air in the tank that replaced the fuel you used.

      The way the problem is described it sounds like it is flooding then clearing out by disconnecting the pump? Injector or something stuck on?

          I would check the temperature sensor for the EFI if it thinks it is 40 below when it is only zero it will flood.Cranking it with the pump disabled will dry the plugs and let it start again on the excess fuel when you give it fuel pressure again the cycle repeats.Frozen fuel lines and bad ignition switches as well as compression issues do not come and go with enabling and disabling the fuel pump.Low fuel pressure also doesn't get better when you pull the fuel pump relay something is going on with cold fuel enrichment.
