starting problems 855 T5

I would also add that the 850/_70 are plagued with the inability to start up if you had just ran the engine for a brief period of time. This occurs because during startup, a LOT of fuel is dumped into the combustion chamber. If you don't run the car for long enough, the fuel isn't burned and essentially floods the engine. It dilutes the oil and causes a loss of compression. So if you are experiencing this problem after running the engine for a brief period of time, i.e. moving the car from the driveway to the garage, etc, it may not be able to start for 5-10 minutes.
