Hello!

I just bought a V70 2.4T 2002 that won't start, it gave codes related to the camshaft position sensor and the crankshaft position sensor. I swapped them out for new parts but no luck...

I hear the fuel pump priming, there's fuel in the fuel rail, this example did not come with a PEM or FPS, only a fuel pump relay as far I know (plastic tank).

Like I said, I sprayed it with starter fluid into the intake and the car came to life! But only for a second or two until it returned to the state it's in.

It cranks but doesn't show any sign of life without the starter fluid. No codes on the OBD2 scanner after i changed the sensors, so I would really appreciate some help!

i dont think it has pem or fps in 2002, those came after 2004.
its likely not building enough fuel pressure, you need a pressure gauge to prove it.

If it does not start without starter fluid, it is surely a fuel supply problem. Start with fuel pressure test at the engine fuel rail.

Always start with a brand new Fuel Filter (Mann, Mahle etc).
Then measure fuel pressure.
