These days the temperatures are hovering around 20 F and in the morning my car is starting after 3rd or 5th crank and that too when I step on the gas.
The car is 1990 240 DL SW ( Manual). I think it has 3.1 Fuel injection system.
Battery looks OK. What can be the issue. The IAC does not pick up the revs at the idle . I had cleaned it 10 months ago. It does pick up the revs at idle when it is not that cold. I thought that that this is the purpose of IAC.
I have heard that there is one cold start injector . Can that be the issue.
What are the things I should check . Spark plugs and distributor were cleaned 2 months ago . I run fully synthetic 10W30 Mobil -1.

Once the car starts it idles perfectly and runs fine.

Regards
Gopesh
