Starting Issue 200 1993

Hi Everyone

Never a cold starting problem with my 1993 240 since I replaced the air mass meter a year ago. The past 2 mornings though (after sitting in sub-zero weather over night) the engine will turn over just fine and almost catch and sputter a little and then go back to just turning over with a steady rhythm. Yesterday I thawed out the engine in a garage and removed and dried off plugs and it started right up. This morning I held the accelerator half way down while turning the key and it finally started (I know that's a no-no with fuel injection but I was desperate). What do you think would make it difficult to start only below a certain temperature? About 20 degrees and above NO issues. Anything below and the problem happens.
