740 turbo won't start for anything.... 700 1987

Are the plugs dry or fuel soaked after repeated attempts at starting?

Dry? The radio suppression relay may be at fault. Pull the relay and insert a jumper between the two heavier wires on the plug. Not sure where the RSR is on that car- tucked under the angled brace at the right rear of the engine compartment? The RSR enables the injectors to operate.

Wet? The temperature sensor that tells the ECU how much fuel to provide for a cold start may be defective (or the spark plugs may not be providing a good hot spark under compression. Dry those plugs or better yet install a new set as you don't know how long they have been in service).
