1985 will not start below 45 F. 200

Hi All,

This is a 1985 244DL Automatic. Above about 45 degrees Fahrenheit the car starts great, I hardly hear the starter engage (just tap it) and it's running. This morning it was 38 degrees Fahrenheit and tried several times and no start. This morning I jumper fuse #4 and #6, hear the fuel pumps running and still no start.

One other quirk, on occasion when it is warm out it starts fine, put it into drive and it dies. Always fires right back up. Happens about 1 in 30 times on the first start of the day.

Just wondering where to start.

Thanks,
Mike
