my 1982 volvo 240DL will eventually start in the cold...but takes forever, and sometimes it never starts...symptoms are that it will crank, but fires a couple of times, but not enough to get the engine going. After about 30 minutes of cranking it will finally start. Within the two months I have replaced the following.

Spark plugs, plug wires, ditributor cap, fuel pump relay, fuel injector o-rings, fuel injector holders, cleaned fuel injectors, all new belts, thermostat.

Within the last year I have replaced entire wiring harness, main fuel pump under chassis, all new fuses.

Car gets regular oil changes and maintenance.

any ideas...they want $86 to do a diagnostic at the Volvo dealer, and I am paying $20 a day for a taxi to work... when you make $8 an hour like I do, that doesn't work out too good!
