Cold Start

Post by CLARKEG »

I have a Volvo 850 GLT Estate 1994 (Manual). When I start the car from cold and then turn off the car in say 5 seconds the car wil not start again. It's fine if the engine is warm. I have heard that there is a fault with this model and year ? Some thing got to do with the automatic choke flooding the car ! The last time it happened I got someone to tow me and I started it that way. Any tips on how un-flood/restart the car ?
