98 R No start.

[Stormtrooper1]

I have a 98 V70r.
It's been off the road since late last fall. (Needed some major brake/suspension work, and i had another car to get through the winter) Frankly I wanted to save some wear and tear on the car, as the goal is to keep it forever.

Now, This spring/summer I've been dealing with trying to get it going again.
Battery spent all winter inside the garage on maintenance charger.
Put the battery in and the car fired like I had driven it yesterday. ran for about 15 min (up to temp) stumbled, Died. wouldn't restart.

I've replaced the Cam position sensor with a known good used one, and I've done Plugs/Wires/Rotor/Cap. Car Fired and started flawlessly and ran for about 20 min. the next day i started it again and it ran for about 15, stumbled. and died. it will not restart.

The car is getting fuel. I can hear the pump prime, and i can smell it if i flood it (which, of course does not help in starting it)

Thoughts on Where i should be looking?
Thanks!

Is it a crank-no start or a no crank-no start issue? If its no crank I'd start by testing the alternator.

Sorry, I guess that would help to know, wouldn't it?

It's a Crank, no start.

Check the coil. Unplug the high tension wire from the distributor, and hold it near metal on the engine and have someone crank. If you don't see spark then you might have a bad coil. Do the same with the individual plugs attached to their corrosponding wire-- just keep the plug grounded to the engine (only touch rubber)- and see if there is spark.
You could also check for fuel pressure at the rail...
It could also be the crank position sensor...

Ignition coil? I didn't think of that. Any specific age/mileage they fail or should be replaced?

[asg1986]

The one I replaced went at 207k after an engine bath

Check the coil.
