After some poking around last night, literally, with my electrical connector probe thing, there is power going TO the coil when the key is in the II position, both blue and red wires are hot. however when I turn the key there is no power coming from the coil to the distributor. Tried a different coi...

After swapping a motor and trans from a T5 M into my '98 V70 R I'm getting a crank, no spark scenario. However there is good fueling through the injectors confirmed by popping out the rail and drenching my garage floor. There also is no power coming from the coil but considering they rarely go bad t...

yeahhh that is kinda a problem old 850's have. mine does it almost every time i drive it cold. there is a "shift lock override button" to the right of the shifter. push that in and you will be able to move it out of park. you could probably fix by tearing apart the entire central column bu...

hrmmm, i'll try it. i have a guy who used to be a euro import mechanic stopping by tuesday so hopefully he will have some bomb insight on my troubles.

as far as i can tell. there are big ones underneath a plastic panel that needs to be removed with 4 torx screws. i don't know how to determine if they are tripped or not but by eye they don't seem to be compromised.

aww, i love the car too much to do anything that rash. but from what i can tell it is once again not getting spark. the plugs are wet when i pull them out though. WTF!

first off, thanks for all your help. this has been so frustrating but i'm not the kind of person that outsources my auto repairs. i bought a trickle charger yesterday and let the battery top off overnight. didn't make any difference. i know it is still an electrical problem but can't figure out why ...

brand new. when it started i was jumping off of a 4.0L suv. could the higher amperage of that system make a difference? since i have jumped off of two different 4 cyl that haven't done it. might my battery be getting ruined/going bad?

i guess i should also mention it was idling real rough, not quite but similar to knocking sound . is it normal to have to re-time a car after replacing the cps?

WOOHOO!!! popped in a new CPS today and had it run!! that is the good news: bad news is i turned it off after about 5 minutes of idling and now it won't fire up again. not much more to say than that
