I was talking to someone who has a 91 740 turbo with the following problem (description is not that great because I am yet to see the car): many times the car will not start. From what I understood, if he hits the starter 3-4 times, the car will come to life on the 4th attempt and be happy thereafter until sitting for a while. As I was talking to him on the phone while driving (I love my earpiece!), I do not know if he was jumping the starter (as in safety switch is boink?) or he just kept turning the key on until the engine came to life (leak in fuel system?). Are my guesses for potential issues accurate? What else should I check?
