Re: 850 N/A car will not start, no sparks from 2 plug wires

The "flywire" or jumper wire goes to the point that is being interrogated. Each port monitors its own system on the car. In your case you need to plug the wire into A-2, read the codes, and then try to read the codes in A-6. You may or may not have any readings in A-6. ...Lee I couldn't g...

Re: 850 N/A car will not start, no sparks from 2 plug wires

The '93 to '95 models have a real slick on-board diagnostic system. Here are the details: http://volvospeed.com/CheckEngine.php Some cars use both A-2 and A-6 and others just use A-2. Try to interrogate both ports. Have a pen and paper on hand to write the flashes down with. Yes, they do have a dis...

No I haven't. What will I use to do it with? I am still new with volvo. Do the 93 NA 850 have distributors?

Re: 850 N/A car will not start, no sparks from 2 plug wires

So today it was warm a little 38*F and it started after a few sputtering. I let it warm for a while. I turn if off, came back to start it and it will not start again :( It went back to it's same tricks, crank but will not start.

Any ideas and or suggestions?

I changed the coil and cam sensor cuz I read some where on here that those might be a problem and I was able to get those two for really cheap.

So you mean I should just floor it and try starting and see if it starts?

Re: 850 N/A car will not start, no sparks from 2 plug wires

I did everything, still it didn't work. Changed coil with a used one, changed cam sensor with a used out, re-gap the spark plugs to .028. I also changes the capacitors in the fuel pump relay. It cranks but it won't start. My battery is new, I checked the voltage and it reads 12.82V. I have not chang...

Re: 850 N/A car will not start, no sparks from 2 plug wires

The car is a 1993 850. It was parked during summer because I drive a different car but prior to that it was running fine. The way I test for spark, I pull out a plug wire one at a time and stick a crew driver inside the end that goes to the plug and place it on any metal part in the car, start it up...

I push it back home checked the plug wires and I couldn't see any sparks from wires #4 and #5. I have also noticed tha...
