I am having similar issues with my '87 B230FT but mine wasn't starting at all. I am in NH and this BS started last Wednesday when the temp dropped to about -20. Since then, there has been an outbreak of similar problems - all have been happening since the mercury dropped last week.
She may have a semi flooded engine need to take it our for a deep breathe, I overlooked the known flooding issue with my 740 and it's taken me 5 days to come to the conclusion that it's flat out flooded. A friend of mine in Concord, NH runs a Volvo only repair shop, I talked to him today and followed his instructions and hints about a flooding issue and my car actually started. She may be having the same issue.
