'85 900-8V starting problems

I've got an '85 900 *v that is my winter beater/fun car. ABout 190K on it. Recently put new springs/shocks on it and also a new starter. It sat for about a month before I got the starter replaced. Started ok the first few times. However, nnow it doesn't want to start. It occasionally does start, but getting less frequent. Yesterday, theonly way I got it to start was pumping the throttle (yeah, I know, it's FI not carb) and keep the starter cranking while it chugged along until it finally fired enough to keep going.
Hve checked all connections, elec & vac. Got spark at the plugs and the plugs don't look to bad. The thing is once it starts it revs and drives and runs just fine. However, even when it is warm and up to temp, if you shut it off, it is still likely to not start or even fire!
Can any body give me an idea where to startlooking for faults based on the above? Would be greatly appreciated
