Cold weather starting issue (Big Problem!!!!) 850 1993

When it gets to about 28-20 degrees F it takes me about five minutes of cranking the engine to start the car. Under 15 F and don't even bother trying.

Any ideas from anybody would be welcome.

Thank you all

Is your throttle body clean? Also check the vacuum tree and make sure the idle air control line is not leaking air.

Good news, winter is almost over. One more March storm for us this weekend.

Probably your engine coolant temp sensor not reading correctly, so the fuel supply isn't great enough. Any codes?
