Being an 89 with LH fuel injection you should still have a cold start injector and circuit. I dont currently have my bentley handy so I going off what I remember and think would be best to check.

The cold start injector is in the plenum, after the throttle body.
Remove the cold start injector, placing it in a can of some kind that wont be eatten by gasoline, operate the starter and see if you have any fuel spray, I doubt you will.
Then I would remove the electrical connector, place a voltmeter between the connectors or a test light to see if you have voltage there. It not investigate the cold start circuit, I will check my bentley when I get home if someone else hasnt responded.

I have the exact opposite problem, my car (82 242Turbo) starts great cold, but when the engine is warm (after sitting for 2-4 hours) it has a hard time starting. I think the thermal time switch is bad. Our cars use 2 entirely different fuel injection systems, which is why I am unsure of your case exactly.

hope this helps a bit.
take care
