I have a 95 850 Turbo that was given to me. the car ran fine when I last parked it. I went to start it a few months later and it won't start, it cranks over just fine. I checked for spark at the plugs with a tester and there is nothing. Can anyone steer in the right direction? I don't have a lot of time to waste searching for the cause.

 

Oh, since you don't have time to do a search I'll just give you the information that I have seen over time.

Cam shaft sensor. It's located just under the upper torque mount at the end of the motor, cam. If you need a picture let me know and I'll fetch one.

 

Is there any way to test the cam sensor? I've checked all the grounds and still need to test the coil. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of money to spend on parts and have it still not run. I need to be sure that what i replace will fix the problem.

 

You're right; don't throw parts at it... this link might might help..
