wierd hard start problem 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be PC Fixer on  Tue Jun 28 21:06 CST 2011 [RELATED]

Trouble starting for past two weeks. How do I describe? I turn the key and it sounds like it is going to start but doesn't, it cranks for a few seconds then it lets out a huge sigh and I turn the key off and try again. (the sound is kind of like the sound of someone getting the wind knocked out of them, a big puff sound)
after a few of those it finally fires up. car got stuck today, wouldn't start and after 7-8 tries I put my foot on the brake pedal and tapped the gas with my other foot and it started. What is going on? Any clues welcome on this one. My wife wants me to sell, but I love my brick.
