my 89 300e has the worst problem right, its been taking like 5 long cranks to start some times not starting at all. I brought it to the mechanic that has done work to it in the pass and it sat there for 3 weeks and he told me it started first try every time. I got the car back yesterday and it was covered in snow and it was sitting there for atleast a week, when he fired it up it took about 6 seconds then started. I drove it all day yesterday then parked it at home. THis morning i went to start it and i drained the battery completely. It starts perfectly when its hot and its (-11) degrees celcius outside. This problem is pissing me off. I should add that about a year ago i was pushing the car hard and it died on me, it turned out to be the crank sensor, the sensor i have in now is used. you guys gotta help, please

P.S, cold start valve works perfect, Ovp fuse is fine and no warning lights are on
