Can my fuel pump become inoperative only when cold?

My '94 Max, which recently had to be parked outside in below freezingwether refused to start. The engine turned over fine, but it wouldn'tcatch. I pushed the car into the underground parkade at work for acouple of hours to warm up and bingo, started perfectly. I hadexperienced a stuttering display a week earlier, again after beingoutside, where the car would start, cough and sputter then die when putin gear, or or only travel a short distance. When started it wouldn'trespond to me pressing the gas pedal. Eventually it started and I let itwarm up for awhile before driving it.I suspect the fuel pump, anyone ever have a problem similar where coldstopped the fuel pump from working? Other than these two events it'sworked fine when garaged at home, and parkaded at work. I doubt the fuelfilters could do this, because the car worked most of the time. Samefor fuel. First time the tank was half full, last time it was full.Thoughts and costs?NormFather Guido¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯I plan on living forever... so far, so good
