2001 Volvo V70 XC Car won't start

Post by peterobinson13 »

Car won't start - parked in parking garage at the hospital. I've looked through a bunch of information and the car turns over and sounds like its going to run and dies immediately. The fuse is fine - not sure where the fuel pump relay switch is? Was also reading about the antenna in the key housing possible being bad, but have only recieved the Immobilizer message once and locked/ unlocked the car five times and it went away. Having a hard time figuring out how to order the fuel pump relay switch - plan to replace it regardless. Thanks in advance!!!! Also tried the spare key with no success.

Try unplugging your MAF - and see what happens. My XC90 did this and it was the MAF. Unplugged it ran, not optimal, but ran. Just unclip the connector - takes a few seconds and an easy test.
