Thanks for the replies folks! but all the obvious potentials are not the problem. The car starts and runs great when the ambient temp is above freezing. When the temp drops, It gets gas, engine cranks etc.... but will not fire up. It actually floods after a bit of time. It attempts to start, but stops trying after the third crank. I sense it has something to do with the cold start system for that year, which I know little about and cannot easily find in my Bently manual. It is as thought some thing stops the engine firing electrically? I know the old mainstay 8v had a glow plug, and gas injector which always worked, 89 16V leaves me cold!
Thanks for your reply!
Steve
