98 Volvo V70 2.4L non-turbo FWD Wagon starts on 2nd attempt in the am

I have a 98 Volvo V70, 2.4L non-turbo FWD, Wagon and on a cold start (i.e. - overnight), the car never starts on the first attempt. On the second attempt it starts and runs at slightly lower rpms than normal and rough. Sometimes the rpms bounce around down then up again. After the car warms up it runs at the usual rpms.

I changed, spark plugs, cap, rotor and air filter and there was no change in problem discussed above.

Car runs fine at all speeds except at idle on startup...

Any ideas?

It sounds like the fuel pressure regulator is causing your fault but to be certain you should check the fuel pressure overnight & see what it is Glenn K Volvo Certified Technician 2008 ASE Certified Technician 2008

It could be the ECT - engine coolant temperature sensor, right?
