I had a similar experience in my 1987 245. It turned out to be a deteriorated fuel injection main power fuse holder. This is located near the battery and is an inline blade style fuse (10 amp i think) on a big (12gauge?) wire. I shook it around and my car started. You can find a cheap high quality weather proof replacement from a car stereo shop! Good luck......

PS. this is a tip straight out of the IPD catalog that saved my butt on the bay bridge!
