starting problems in the cold

[SPIRO]

My 89 is reallllyy hard to start after left out in the cold for a long period of time like overnight or something. Poor baby : (. When i tried to start it today, which has been the coldest day yet, i finally got it after a few cranks while having my foot on the gas and when i released the gass pedal it just stalled out. I had to start it again the same way but i had to keep the gas down constant for it to heat up and idle on its own. Oil is 5w30 by the way. Once it starts up it runs pretty well, maybe a little slugish sometimes i've noticed. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated : ) Thanks.

Oh whoa sorry about this post, I just read the announcement saying questions like this should be directed to the online mechanic. :oface

Have you tried replacing the fuel filter and checking your plugs for proper gapping and what not? My car has the same problem and those are the first things I am going to tackle (I just got it yesterday)
