I once tried starting my 850 (a 1995 NA, manual trans. model) having forgotten to re-connect the MAF sensor. Car was running fine prior. I had it torn apart to gain access to something, but at this point it was all back together save for the connector. I recall it fired and bucked, but would not idle. Obviously very confused it was. Also, I've found that it REALLY doesn't take kindly to air leaks downstream of the MAF. Not at all like a 240 which, in my experience, will idle and still move (sort of) with the MAF disconnected and/or massive air leaks in the intake downstream of the MAF.

Pretty sure that doesn't help much, but may make some sense of the no-start. There's no other code, perhaps for timing? Cap, rotor and cam sensor all in order? Worth pulling the air intake tube to check for leaks while you're in there.

Good luck,
Will
