98V70 T5M Cold Start Issues

09 January 2012 - 02:10 PM

My 98 V70 lately has been having a hard time starting during the last couple of cold early morning starts. Being up here in Canada the weather can easily reach -15 and lower in the mornings. here is my issue only when extremely cold:

-Car engine cranks, car turns on for a breif moment then the engine dies
-Crank car for about 5-7 times engine is turning over but it is not catching (car may turn on again maybe once for a brief moment and then die)
-Car finally turns on acts 100% normal

Im stumped at this because the car is pretty much up to date on all forms of maintenance, vac and engine performance is normal, there is also no CEL.
I'm also somewhat ruling out freezing of the gas because i never run the gas tank less than half and we apparently have a "winter blend" gasoline up here, also if the lines were frozen wouldnt that mean that the car wouldnt start at all in the cold???

I was thinking maybe there could be condensation in the intercooler piping somehow messing with the TB signal or IAC?


Any advice and insight would be greatly appreciated.
