Cold No Start

It's been a few years since I've used the list--desperation draws me back!
My 1988 900-S developed an intermittent cold start problem this winter. In
cold weather, sometimes it would start, sometimes it seemed to flood.
Usually, pulling the fuel pump fuse for a few cranks to clear it out would
result in a rough start.

My local Saab shop tried everything, including: exhaustive fuel pressure
tests, new cold start valve, new spark plugs, ignition system, and check
valve. Nothing worked. Finally, they decided it must be related to the
computer swap that had been done the previous summer. My 1988 computer was
replaced with a 1992 unit, which is not supposed to interchange but had
seemed to work fine. Does this sound reasonable? Any other guesses?
They've offered to swap computers but can't locate an 1988 for the 16v engine
which apparently is unique.
