850 will not start - HELP!!! 850 1995

I have a 95 850 T5. Usually the car is kept in the garage. I made the mistake of leaving it out in the cold for 3 days when the temp dropped to about 5 degrees each evening. It started for me on the 4th day, but only ran for about 10 seconds and then "died". I've not been able to get it to start even though I pushed it into the garage and ran a propane heater for a few hours to thaw it out.

Any suggestions?

    I say try the usual stuff first. If it started then died I might check the fuel pump first to see if it is working. Might have been enough residual fuel pressure to get it started.

    Buy a Toyota. I brought my trouble-prone 97 850GLT w/ 89,000(my 1st & last
    Volvo) to 3 dealers yesterday and the best I could get for trade was 6,000.
    and that was against a brand new 4Runner. Dealer told me resale on Volvos has plunged in the last 5-6 years because of their massive appetite for repairs.
