Reminds me of the same problem I had on my '86 240. It was caused by a faulty idle air controller. The electric motor inside of it seized up, allowing too much air (i.e. too lean a mixture) into the engine resulting in no cold starting. The 850 has a similar IAC- it's visible once you remove the plastic throttle body cover. One easy test is to clamp down on the rubber hose from the IAC to the intake manifold and then try starting. Good luck
