temp sensor ???

hi ive got a problem with my 1.4 westcoast, the problem manily occurs at night when the engine is started from cold (and worse the the weathers really cold) sometimes it fires straight up but the revs bounce all over the place for a while, then sometimes it will struggle to start and take a few turns of the key to start, then when it does start it smokes a bit and i get a strong smell of fuel, and the car wont tick over properly, it sounds really under powerd and is lumpy as fuck, and if i rev it sounds like its only running on 1 cyclider if you know what i mean.. then its not to bad when its warm up a little.. a mate said it could be my temp sensor sending the wrong reading to my ecu.. could this be true.. also is this what i need..

alright mate ive currenty got the same problem ..... im pretty sure its my map sensor .... or my lambda is the engine managment light on mate ?

no my eml isnt on mate.. i thought it could be my lamba aswell , but a mate seens to think if my temp sensor is nakard , its gonna be sending the wrong readings to my ecu , then that will under/over fuel it aslo giving the lambo false readings
