Default Cold start problems on 2.3 turbo 850

ok, i find this problem strange. the car runs and startsperfect when its warm outside or when it has been running and warmed up, BUT if the car has been sitting outside in less than 40 degreesfor around 4 hours or moreit will crank, start, and die. i will do this about 30 times then finally it will start and stay running. this does this only when cold. after several starting attempts i hear a buzzing/grinding noise comingfrom in the dash,a few starting attempts afterthis happens the car will start. oh and after every start attempt ihave to turn the ignition to OFF or it will not start at all andonly crank over. this is my only car any help is greatly appriciated. thanks in advance

Sounds like fuel pressure is bleeding off.

And if you hear buzz from around the dash, the fuel pump relay could be a culprit.
