I also have a 1990 760 Turbo wagon with the exact same problem. Mine has 99.6K miles on it. It was serviced by a dealer until two years ago when I bought the car.
This morning, running at 30 mph, the engine died. I put it into neutral and tried to restart as I was rolling but it just kept cranking. I was able to pull to the side of the road and stop. After
10 seconds, I cranked it and it started.
Another problem, which I thought might be related, is that you have to crank the engine for about five seconds before it starts. However, it you crank it for two seconds, then wait two seconds, it will start immediately.
I am going to pull the diagnostic codes now and I?ll let you know if they are the same ones you got.
