Picked up a 2006 XC90 at a local auction. Drove off the lot and Trailered home. Drove around a bit before parking that day. Got to operating temp and mostly checked accessories worked. Noticed the engine seemed under power, even though I have no Volvo history it I felt it should’ve been better.
Anyhow, question is, could the no start after sitting a couple weeks be from an (I’ve been researching) oil clogged pcv system? Or related low oil pressure? Fires (more like catches) for a second first try then just turns and turns. Same result today, yesterday was first try since parking.
I will start taking apart and report back with information on the condition. I hope to get some feedback here to help me start some new threads with specific questions. Thanks
2006 XC90, 2.5T, AWD - telltale oil on turbo tube near oil filler, around fill cap on top and passenger side motor oil leak.
No start

Turn the key on, wait 15 seconds, then crank. See if that makes a difference.

I'd try replacing the fuel filter first. And if you're still running on gas that was in it when you bought it, drain the tank and fuel pressure lines and put fresh gas in it.

First are you getting any codes or do/did you have any lights on the dash? Did you check your fuses? Not sure if the fuel pump relay is an issue with Volvos - hopefully someone will chime in.
I am hesitant to tell you to add more gas to the tank unless it is empty (first place to check - maybe add a gallon if it is really low) as you may end up doing your fuel pump adding gas is not ideal. As the car ran a few days earlier the gas should still be good enough to get the car running.
Fire - Fuel - Air. Based on your description I would focus on fuel unless you have/had some codes and or the check engine light was lit. If you have codes or you have a scanner see if you have any codes. It would be really helpful as we may be pursuing a dead end. With that caveat, I am thinking you may have a failed fuel pump. It is not uncommon at your miles and vehicle age. It could be a fuel filter, which would not hurt to change regardless - especially at your mileage and vehicle age.
First though you need a plan of attack assuming it is a fuel filter and/or fuel pump. Do you have a scanner, a way to check fuel pressure? A proper set of tools? Do you want to do the work yourself?
If you can check fuel pressure do that first. If not it is a hunt and peck approach which is not ideal. You can start with changing your fuel filter or move on to the fuel pump and bundle your parts order depending what you find after looking into your fuel pump.
site search is your friend (fuel filter): viewtopic.php?t=64409
If the filter change doesn't solve your problem move on to checking the fuel pump. Start by watching this video so you know where it is located and what is involved.
It will give you an idea of where you have to put your ear. How far you go with the process depends on what you find - actually hear. Start off with some one turning on the key to POS2 (but don't engage the starter) and see if you hear the pump engage while you sit in the back seats. (the above post about 15 seconds was to get the pump to prime the fuel system) If you don't hear the pump pursue this path further. You may have to take some parts off to hear better. If you hear nothing, good chance it is your fuel pump. A this point you will want to try manually jumping the pump with 12V to see if it works.
I would say update with progress and then more information can be provided. Plus maybe someone else will have some better ideas and/or tricks.

Some more info on the fuel pump relay and the fuel pump. Much of the information is this post should apply even though it is another model:
viewtopic.php?t=52252
So if you have a VOM you should be able to test your fuel pump with out taking anything apart in the interior.

Not the fuel pump or bad fuel. Throwing p0027. Have it all apart and ordered necessary parts to replace clogged up oil breather system. Going to add cam solenoid gaskets to list and clean up the sensors real good before putting it back together. Fresh oil and filter too before next start up. I really think this is a lack of care (mostly oil changes) and maintenance.
I will post results and start new threads if necessary. Thanks for all input
