850 Won't Start 850

I have a 95 850 that on a cold day it would fire on the first try every time and had a little valve (I think) clatter until the engine warmed up. Yesterday, on a not cold morning (35 degrees), the engine sputtered badly for 2-3 seconds and then would not turn over. It seemed as if the engine was not receiving fuel. I checked under the car and inside the engine compartment but no leaks or smells coming from it. It turns over and sputters a bit but near fires up. Again, it seems like it isn't receiving fuel. Are there any checks I can do before having it towed to a shop? I was wondering if it was a fuel pump or something with the fuel injector system that was causing the no start. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
