I poked around a bit more at the Euro this morning and determined the following:

1) I was mistaken in that the wire attached to the cold start solenoid DOES in fact go back into the wiring harness. The two loose wires that I found are probably for the rear window wiper which is missing on my car.

2) I used a test light to confirm that the cold start solenoid is getting power when I crank the motor.

3) I also trickle charged the battery in the unlikely event I was not getting enough juice to start the car. This was not the case, nor did I think it would be since the car starts just fine when warm.

The car is still not starting very easily when cold. I could pull off a fuel line to see if it is getting any gas when I start the car. Not sure I want to do that however, as my mechanical skills are a bit more limited.

I'm all ears however, if anybody has any other ideas of why my car has suddenly gone from easy to start when cold to now requiring quite a bit of cranking.

Thanks to all.
