Along with the Cold Start TSB decribed in Lucid's old post, it's possible you've got leaking fuel injectors causing flooding; or a vacuum causing an overly rich condition.

If it's flooding, it should start more quickly when you open the throttle.

My own 90 is not the fastest thing in the world to fire up. It always works, but takes twice as long to crank as the 240s ever do. I don't know if it's building up fuel pressure in the system or if that's just the LH2.4 / Regina behavior.

In any case, my car's going to receive some Techron to see if it improves starting performance. Your car probably should as well. The stuff does work.
