Cold Start Injector -- Yes or No 1987

The Car in question is '87 740 NA and is located 1,200 Miles from home.

My daughter reports that the car must be cranked multiple times to start in cold weather (Boston). e.g. crank 5 seconds, wait 10 seconds, repeat three times and will finally start and run fine. I reviewed the FAQ and it seems other reports of hard starting cold involve a rough idle. This is not the case in this instance.

I don't know the ecu model number, but I believe it is one of the LH 2.2 versions - no diagnostic port. My first guess is a faulty Cold Start Injector, but I can't even remember if this car is so equipped. Anyone have any suggestions beyond the obligatory reference to the degrading wire harness?

Is this behavior "common" in the cold climates with winterized gasoline?

Thanks,

Dan
