This suggests to me that there's a signal it sends to the ECU that says basically "ready for auto-stop", and if I cut that one I won't get any more auto-stop under any circumstances. My bet is on it being "ENGRDY".

I get lean burn when it's subzero outside.

The only factor that absolutely stops it seems to be that the engine is warmed up.
My guess would be whatever wire gets a different signal when you push the "AUTO" button vs "ECON" would be the fastest way to test this.
