I have a 1995 Volvo 850turbo. I have a problem starting it only when it is cold. It will start for about 2-3 seconds and die, if i give it gas it dies immediately. After 4-5 minutes of cranking then starting and dying, it will start and be perfect, no problems until next morning. Makes me late for work! any suggestions - can't find a cold start injector like on other imports.

the injector's the problem
Well it might be if the 850 had a cold start injector!
And dont top post.
Tim..
Make sure it has the correct spark plugs. A Volvo single prong plug is preferred. The multiprong plugs are only for non-turbo motors. When the motor starts the injectors fire twice per revolution at an extra rich mixture and the multiprong plugs foul.
