First, be careful with the use of starting fluid. You can damage the head with excessive use.

Second, since the timing belt was replaced I'd look at the coolant temperature sensor. It's possible that sensor was not reconnected or damaged after the timing chain was replaced. It's on the back side of the head by the firewall. This is also a relatively cheap part to replace. They're usually under $10.

If this part fails or is disconnected, the computer won't know the motor is cold and therefore won't give it the extra gas for a cold start. Hence the need for the starting fluid.

What this member said plus get the compression tested.
Next would be to check your spark plugs to see if they are coated with oil or too much fuel
Next would be to get the ingiter and coil tested plus ohm test the spark plug wires.
Next would be to ensure your fuel injectors are firing.
