Re: 1996 850 Turbo, wont start but has fuel and spark

The car will not start with starter fluid and as I stated in my original post the cam is turning. I am not ignoring questions, just trying to go through one thing at a time with my very minimal experience (and not much time). I appreciate all the comments and help and am trying to address them. No, ...

Re: 1996 850 Turbo, wont start but has fuel and spark

Would a faulty TDC sensor cause a car to not start but still have spark? Same with a camshaft position sensor.

Re: 1996 850 Turbo, wont start but has fuel and spark

I replaced the ignition coil and it still did not start. Anything else that I can check?? Are there any sensors that would cause a car to not start, but still have fuel and spark? Thanks!

Re: 1996 850 Turbo, wont start but has fuel and spark

I am getting fuel, so it's not the fuel pump. It has spark but the spark seems weak. Any ideas what would cause weak spark? Thanks!

1996 850 Turbo, wont start but has fuel and spark

Hi! My car has had a rough idle for the last year, but really only noticed it when stopped at lights. The I went to start it after work (didn't notice anything strange on the drive to work) and it started and then promptly died. Tried a few more times and it would crank but not start. Checked the fo...

Re: keep having problems with 850 starting

I tried wiggling the wires to that relay, but nothing happened. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

keep having problems with 850 starting

My 1996 850T has had numerous times where it has had problems starting. It has happened about 5-7 times over the last year. It will crank but won't start. The first time it started by adding starter fluid. The next two times I had it towed to 2 different volvo repair shops and they got it started an...
