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.

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.
