Sounds more like it fires than it starts.
Could be something in the ignition, like a ballast resistor that's bypassed by
the start circuit, but it's probably a bad fuel distributor or similar. Have you

They come on during cranking, but depend upon the RPM-sensor

Well, so much for that. Just checked the manual and it looks like the 5 litre
cars after about 1981 don't have the resistors; they have something else

On the older cars, the starting circuit bypassed the coil resistor pack for
brighter spark during cranking. Maybe the resistor is fried and, when rejoined
into the circuit, causes spark to fail. If it only fires during cranking then
that's a definite culprit...
