850 Turbo 1994 will not start

my car will not start. One night I came home and the car smelled kind funny. The next morning it wouldn't start! It doesn't seem to have a spark. I changed the coil and the battery and still nothing. Has this happened to anyone before? Any ideas fellas?

tranny questions and smokey starts, 94 850 turbo

My question about the tranny is if it's okay to drive in 3 in the streets then shift into the "D" at highway speeds. I don't do this but the reason I ask this is because I let my dad borrow the car and he always drives it in third then will shift it into drive at highway speeds(55+mph). Is...

100 octane? 1994 850 turbo

I think this is the right place to post this so here it is. I want to go the track this weekend and thought about running some 100 octane. Is it safe to run this gas on my car? If not, then what is the highest I can go without causing any harm to the car? I heard that I can burn up the converter or ...

Other cars I have owned and driven are a 1971 datsun 510. It had an L20B swap and a 5spd. Slamin' gears and chirpin' wheels.It was fun around the turns. I sold it. I still have my first car, a 1989 IROC-Z. This car is an automatic. The reason I was unsure what gear my volvo should be in is because I...

new to the vlovo world

hello everyone, I just recently purchased my first volvo. It's a 94 850 turbo. It came with no manual. Now I don't know how this vehicle should be driven. It's an automatic and pretty fun to drive. I mean which gear should it be in while in the streets? highways? And about what speeds should I chang...
