Hey y'all,

My volvo 850 turbo had a crank but no start issue, pretty sure it wasn't getting spark, i replaced the cam sensor, it was cranking and it took a lil bit for it to turn over then it it started, i let it run for a few minutes then turned it off to see if i could start her up again, now she wont even crank, could it be the starter?

Please help what do?

There are several possibilities for the no-crank. At least on my car, the causes of a no crank have been:
The battery has been discharged too low to crank, or the battery has an internal fault (may read 12.6V at rest but the voltage sags below 11V during starting)
The positive cable between the battery and the starter is not making a good low resistance connection

...or P'n'P switch if it's automatic.
To rule out p'n'p switch,try to start it in 'N' position.
