'90 740 cold no start 700 1990

Hi All,
So here's my situation. In November I bought a 90 740 gl w/ 127 kms on it from a Preist in Vancouver. Everything seemed great. Drove from Toronto to Manhattan and back over xmas. Ran well. Now I only tend to drive it once during the week then both days on weekends.

This week i went and shovelled it out from under it's blanket and it wouldn't start. Tried persistantly and it will catch but stall. Finally after 5mins of trying it started and ran roughly and there were some odd exhaust fumes. I thought it might be frozen gas line or water in tank but it won't start tonight. Ran the diognostics last night and i got a 3-2-1, 2-2-3, 1-2-1. Where do i begin? Are any of these codes related to each other ie. if system relay/aux. relay/radio suppression is bad will it affect cold start AND idle valve? Would bad plug wires cause this? I have service records to help with the process. I'd greatly appreciate any feedback as it is my only source of transportation other than my frozen feet.
Cheers!
G. Reed
Oh, and any help with parts vendors in Canada would also be much appreciated.
