    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.
