Cold Start Problem with '94 940 900

I would appreciate advice on a problem I have had for the last 3 winters. When I try to start my '94 940 (Bosch ignition) on a cold morning (<32F here in Texas), it requires extensive cranking, sometimes 5-10 minutes, before the engine runs on its own on all cylinders. Once it reaches this point, it runs flawlessly - never missing. Prior to this point, it stumbles and misses while cranking until it finally dies. This never happens in warmer weather. The fuel pressure appears to be fine and I replaced the fuel pressure regulator thinking that this might solve my problem - but it didn't. The crank sensor was replaced a couple of years ago when I had a problem with the car missing under idling and driving conditions so I don't suspect this. New wires and plugs at 95K, new distributor cap and rotor at 126K, car currently has 150K. I replaced the I checked the Maintenance FAQs but didn't find a lot of information specifically associated with this phenomena. Any advice would be appreciated!
