Intermittent no start 850 1994

sounds to me like you've got sticking valves. you need to change your oil and beat the snot out of it for a good 20 minutes in low gear. could be leaking injectors flooding it making it too rich for a hot restart, but the exhaust valves do coke up in 850s, try a top engine cleaner or running some ATF into a hot engine while holding the throttle open so it doesn't hydro-lock
