Check air temp, coolant temp and fuel pressure with scanner. Then I would check cam and crank signals as well as injector pulse. Is it excess fuel or lack of spark? Compression good? I dont see your location, was there a sudden change in temp? It is cooling off up north. When I worked for nissan years ago in Ohio we would get a rash of fouled plugs when we got the first cold snap.

Next step is to check mass air flow sensor and air temp sensor. I see where it also runs a baro sensor and app sensor. fuel pressure? stuck pressure regulator? Logic is to check all sensors that have an input to fuel control at cold start as well as fuel pressure. What size engine?
