alright well my car is incredibly hard to start when it is cold. it will just turn over and nothing will happen. If i spray a little carb cleaner in the intake it will sometimes start and i will have to work with the gas and keep it above 2500 or it will die, but sometimes it wont start and it will just popple a few times and then do nothing unless i spray more something in the intake, and other times i try like 10 times and i give up because nothing happens. if i can get it started, when it warms up alittle bit it is fine and idles perfect. my question is what would make it start this hard. I know it is like 25°F out but that shouldn't make it so it doesn't start. After the car is warm if i shut it off it fires right back up with no problem at all. Thanks for the help

It is a 1990 SOHC 5spd
