the car has a factory 5 speed...is the crank sensor different from the auto than the manual transmission?...

Been awhile, sorry for the delay...back at this beast, got a code reader, showed the crank sensor was bad, ordered a new one, went to install it and when I pulled the old crank sensor, the end of it was broken off!....replaced it and car would start, but would die shortly; can keep it running @ 3000...

ok. finally warm enough here in Minnesota to work outside....replaced the fuel pump, good healthy squirt from the fuel rail, but still won't start, checked for spark and don't see that I'm getting any spark...looks like the cam sensor is pretty new and clean, as well as the dist cap and wires, so I ...

car was the lady's daily driver, she got in on Tuesday and it wouldn't start, and had it towed to the shop, not a Volvo shop.... I have the timing cover off and the belt is intact and the timing marks appear lined up, at least the 2 cams are , having a hard time seeing the crank mark though...

Got the car for free from a friend of my brother, towed it home from the shop it was taken to cause it wouldn't start, starter was already removed by the shop, has no teeth on it, and the car won't turn all the way over by hand using a wrench according to the shop...timing belt looks ok, at least at...
