Question 93 volvo 850 not like cold weather

Greetings Volvo enthusiast(s)!

I have a 93 Volvo 850 and it is very tempermental during cold weather. The car will start fine and run for about 3 seconds but afterward it will die. It normally takes about 10 to 20 trys to get the car started and keep it running.

A peculiar noise happens right before it starts to run when it is cold. A mild/medium buzzing sound is noted to come from what appears to be the lower left side of the dashboard.

As soon as the buzzing sound is heard the car will start and run as if there is no problem.

Issue: sometimes it takes 10+ minutes to get it started. If the weather is extremely cold...forget it...its a losing battle!

Any suggestion on what might be the cause of this and how to fix it?

Thanks,
