240 will not start when temperature is < 40F 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be cdcrawford on  Sun Feb 18 00:16 CST 2018 [RELATED]

Have an '84 245 that refuses to start when the ambient temperature drops below 40F. We've had a few cold nights these last few weeks where the temperature at 5:00 AM when I left the house for work was in the low to mid 30's. The car cranked strong but would not start.

Went out later in the day when it had warmed up a good 10 degrees or so, and she started on the first turn of the key.

I've replaced the fuel pump relay and the main FI fuse. Also rotated/cleaned all of the ceramic fuses in the fuse box. Cap, rotor, wires and plugs are about a year old. Battery is an Interstate that was installed in late 2016.

Any and all ideas appreciated.
