First cold start, starts sluggish for 15 seconds;I think not all injectors are hitting, sometimes smokes. If kept warm overnight it starts great. I would appreciate any suggestions.

One of your glow plug is not working... it is time to replace all of them.

Well, I had run a couple of diesel purge cans. The car seems to have more power and it feels better. The first start (52 degrees), ther is a little improvement, however, the start is still sluggish.If you have more suggestions, please let me know.
