Car doesn't start when below -10 C 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be eric855 on  Mon Jan 20 13:45 CST 2003 [RELATED]

As posted previously the only time where I do not have sparks is when I first start the car after it slept ovenight i.e. approx 12 hrs. What is funny is that the car(at this specific temperature -10 C and below) won't start even if I crank for 15-30 seconds 2-3 times. I then let the car for 15 minutes and surprise it now start with a pretty impressive smoke comming from the exhaust. I don't know if trying to start does warm something... After that first start everything will be fine untill the next time night.

Battery was changed last friday and tests were done(without success)using another ignition coil.

I know this sounds a little weird. It's my third winter with this car and everything was ok. The car is now 145 000 km.
