1995 Volvo 940 – Hard Starting after setting Overnight 900

I currently have a 1995 Volvo 940 Sedan and it is very difficult to get it to start after setting overnight. It cranks and cranks and does try to catch but just sputters. I end up holding the accelerator all the way down and finally, it will catch and start. Rough idle for a bit and then OK. Once driven for a few miles, it starts for the rest of the day.

After initial start the strong smell of gas is present and it smells as if it is running very rich. MPG is currently very poor at about 14.5 to 16.0 mpg

I have changed plugs, changed rotary, changed distributor, replaced the Mass Air Flow Sensor, replaced the Idle Control Valve.

Checked the Flame Trap system, it appears clear. Replace the Air Cleaner with a new K&N Filter. Have ordered a new set of IPD Plug and Coil Wires (waiting for them to arrive)

Any clues would be helpful.
