Exactly the same thing happened to my 85' 900t a few years ago. The car had about 110k on it & the problem turned out to be the distributer. Follow the trouble shooting instr. in Haynes (Bentley too most likely) which involved turning the dist. shaft so the wheel shutter windows were in a specific spot & then reading resistance at the control module...I think - going from memory. I rebuilt the thing w/parts from an older distributer I had kicking around (it still works great today!), but you can buy a rebuild kit for around $120 thru eEuro...don't be afraid to tackle it - the whole thing comes apart w/snap ring pliers & a screwdriver. You might wish to start off by installing a new control module first though, as they're cheap & if not the problem...spares are good to have. Good luck!
