Bad Cold Start with log and video

Your O2 sensor voltage isn't cycling correctly and your wideband in the video shows the A/F ratio fluctuating quite a bit so that also points at the front O2. I had a similar issue and a new O2 fixed it.
 
My buddy dave (92nolatist) had a similar problem with his car, during a cold start. His a/f's went all lean like that and the exhaust had this real raspy/tinny sound to it. His airflow numbers, global, and deadtimes were off and fuel pressure was too low.

So I would check those two things first or contact him on here for more info..
