We own a 1988 Volvo 740 GLE no turbo 4 cylinder with rear wheel drive...my husband was driving down the road and it died. Now, it won't even start...What is the problem???

Possible causes: ignition or fuel. Check for spark and fuel pressure.

search the forum for posts on diagnosing the fuel pump relay (common fault with these cars) - could also be the timing belt, if it broke or slipped off you should still be okay as these are non-interference motors - either way you might want to get the help of someone who is mechanically inclined
