Hey guys i have my non turbo 740 sedan and it doesnt wan to start, can you help?

the problem is intermitten, it will start 75% of the time but the other 25% it just cranks and cranks. if i leave it sit for a day it'll fire right back up. I think that it is some kind of electrical issue Have any of you guys seen this before? I have replaced the coil (which did fix it once) and the fuel filter (routine maintenance) other than that it is a bone stocker with about 95,000 miles on it. Thanks for any help guys.

Hi Norbert,

Greetings from Yokohama, Japan.

As I'm an 850 driver, I'm not privy to 740. With my poor knowledge on 740, I can only assume the following:

1. Fuel pump is about to die.
2. Camshaft position sensor is about to die (if installed on 740).
3. The car may need good tune-up, mostly the ignition system (plug, plug wires, distributor cap & rotor, etc...) or fuel system.
4. Electronic control-related problems. Have the codes checked.

Also, post this question in the 740 forum; you'll receive better replies there. This is general topics area, and is dismal. So, try the 740 forum.

Good luck,


JPN

 

^LoL. I'm in the same boat as JPN.

All I know if 850 and it sounds like a fuel pump problem (which is kind of common for us)..
