740 Wagon has an strange intermittent problem, Loud Noise in P and N tranny position and almost all electrical goes out with it! 700 1989

I like the harmonic balancer, though I haven't had one fail for me.

The key (part of the lock mechanism) can stick in the start position, especially with a heavy key ring, and make the starter stay engaged. I couldn't drive my car like that though, it idled at about 400rpm and had the SRS light on.

Have you checked the transmission fluid, just for kicks?

Good Luck!
