I have a 90 740 GL (8V, Non turbo) that on occasion, when the car has been running and has been turned off for a few minutes, refuses to start for 5-30 minutes. It'll crank just fine and it has been very intermittent but lately seems to be showing off more. The problem seems to be no spark. Twice now when the problem has presented itself, I've been able to pull the first plug wire and check. Warmer temperatures seem to aggrivate the situation.
Any similar experiences or theories where I should investigate first?
Thanks in advance.
