1994 850 no start condition 850 1994

My first guess is that your Camshaft Position Sensor failed.
Mine did that. Drove to the barber shop, parked, got a trim and car wouldn't start. No warning, other than a week earlier the car coughed and died a couple of times shortly after starting out for a drive.

There is a repair I posted on the Brickboard, but if you're in a hurry, you might as well shell out the bucks for a new sensor. The swap out is simple.
Repairing it is simple also if you can afford to be down until the part comes.
Takes about 3 days from order to get either the replacement sensor or the repair part. Difference is time and money on arrival. Like lots of stuff.

good luck. That's my 2 cents.

Lance.
