This seems to be very specific, it only happens when it's cold outside, e.g., winter. When the car is moved from the driveway and parked on the street for the first start of the day, it then won't start due to fouled plugs EXCEPT if I pull the fuel pump relay under the glove box, then crank until it starts to fire (I assume I'm burning up excess fuel), then put back the relay, then it starts. Once it's warmed up and driven the rest of the day I have no problem. Also no problem during warm weather. Since I have 2 other 240's, I can try swapping out parts. Suggestions?
