It it doesn't start well with the block heater, but DOES start well in the summer - your block heater isn't doing the job. Put one on that will. Any block heater hooked up and sized right will raise the temp of your engine by 40 degrees F in 4-5 hours. So, if 20F outside, the engine will be 60F in 4-5 hours. Put on a big 1500-2000 watt tank/circulating heater and it will get even warmer, faster. They have thermostats and won't overheat.
Are you sure your engine hasn't already been ruined by somebody over-using ether? If often happens that way. An engine gets a simple problem but instead of getting fixed, ether gets used until the top rings shatter to pieces (or worse).
Poor compression, slow cranking speed, injection pump fuel delivery set too low, injection/ignition timing too retarded, valve-head-depth excessive in head, rocker-arm lash too wide or too tight, and more can give you cold starting problems.
How does it act when it's 60F outside? Start up and run smooth, or start up, and skip and smoke for awhile until warm?
