Default Car won't start when cold

Hi,

When I turn the ignition key in the morning, all the lights on my 93 wrx dash come on(check engine, oil, battery etc) as usual, but when I try to start the car, it dies and the oil light goes off. The car eventually starts but only on the fifth or sixth attempt.
Also, when i go to turn the engine off at times, the turbo timer won't count down, and the engine won't turn itself off. When the engine is off, the dash lights stay on after I have taken the keys out. Would this be linked to the oil light going off?
I would be very grateful for any help on the above

Thanks

John

First thing i would do in the weather is put the battery on a full charge or get it test. the alternater can never charge it to full.
