Volvoists !

I am perplexed and becoming increasingly discouraged over my '87 B230FT.

After some moderate wrenching (exhaust gaskets, all new studs and copper nuts, new turbo oil return tube with a new seal and flange gaskets, water pump, LF & FR Rotors, inner & wheel bearings, outer seals, caliper pins, boots, pads, windshield washer jets, douched out the turbo, checked for play in the turbo shaft (etc), oil filter, oil, air filter, new engine coolant and a coolant temp sensor). I started the car up two days ago it started fine after all of the wrenching and I left out in the unheated garage since Wednesday night. I went back today (Friday) and cranked over the Brick and it wouldn't fire up !! WTF ??? Huh ? It has been about 15 below for the last two days/nights, this is the only change in anything environmentally or mechanically since the car started up fine 2 days ago, at least that I am aware of.

It cranked over fine, has fuel pressure at the rail, plugs are wet (not soaked) with fuel, mechanical timing is dead nuts at TDC, plugs have a white spark when cranking, throttle body throat pulls vacuum when cranking. What the heck ?

Any suggestions ? I read thru some of the FAQ's for No Start - nothing really makes sense to me yet. Any suggesttions would be greatly appreciated. I want to get at least 300K out of this car before I ditch it. I am on 195K right now. Please help ?
