1995 945 non-turbo.

At temperatures below 40F, the car sounds to run on 3 cylinders when it warms up. After 2 minutes its ok.

At temperatures below 20F the car doesn't start.

Plugs are dirty, with new plugs the problem goes away for a few weeks, then comes back.

so... too rich at start? What's the normal list of sensors to run through to remedy the problem?

I live 100miles from Minneapolis, so taking it to a real mechanic isn't an option. Local shops won't touch a volvo...
