cold start problem?

Hi,
We're having a starting problem (1993 900s, 2.1L) that I'm trying to diagnose. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Yesterday: the car started fine, let it idle to warm up (-15 celcius here - it's winter of course), but it stalled as soon as I shifted into reverse to back out of the garage... tried to start again. battery dead. boosted. car starts fine. shift into reverse to back out. stalled. tried to boost - no start (boost battery pack dead? recharged pack overnight).
Today: tried to start. battery dead. Tried to boost with fresh battery pack. still won't start.
There's enough battery power that the interior light comes on when I open the door. When I turn the key, the dash illumination, headlights, etc comes on, and some weak sounds of it trying to turn over - sounds like trying to start off a dead battery, but the pack should be good.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
James...
