I had the use of a 740  for a while & it stopped on me .It took me ages 
to find the problem
In the end ,it turned out to be one of the air hoses around the inlet 
manifold had come off.it was underneath so very hard to find.It was 
letting air in between the engine and the airflow sensor so that it was
telling the injection system that there was no demand for any fuel.
My 760 had a similar problem in that it would start but wouldn't 
run.This turned out to be a little box in the console behind where the
fuses are.This counts the pulses of the ignition to detect if the engine 
is running so that if the engine stops,it turns off the fuel pump.so 
that if in a crash the fuel line was damaged ,high pressure fuel is not 
been pumped every where.This is bypassed while the engine is cranking 
till it starts.I pulled the unit apart & found a flty
capacitor.
