How long should it take to start? Topic is solved

Both cars are fine.
Without writing a book, well, maybe a short one...
The coil on plug system on the '00 needs to rotate the engine a little longer and read the cam/crank sensors in order to figure out the rotational position of the engine and spark the correct cylinder at the proper time. The older car merely needs to know that any one piston is at compression TDC, the mechanical design of the cap/rotor will send the spark to the correct plug without the ECU needing to figure this out. Back then MFI systems generally pulsed all injectors as you turned the key so the ECU didn't have to figure out injector timing right away either. However, that isn't necessarily ideal from the standpoint of tailpipe emissions.
Unless the '00 cranks more than about a second, there's nothing wrong with it.

I believe in the manual for a 98 turbo, it says crank for upwards of 10 seconds. If it catches in under 10 seconds, then i guess according to Volvo, it's fine.

Well done.



I believe invoking reference material such as the official Volvo manual into a thread is a violation of the MVS terms of service, squashing debate and wild speculation, critical to gobbling our internet bandwidth..

Do you ever sleep Abscate? =p

The ECU has a random start delay number which amuses the coders as they watch it being discussed on the Internet.

Ha! International call and when the finance guys come on I just surf the web. They always allot 15 minutes for 30 seconds of content. Cash in? Receivables? Period expenses as percent of YTD? Thank you, go back to bean counting. What? Someone booked a first class ticket for 31/2 hour leg when the rule is 4? What does her manager think of this? You haven't asked? Maybe because she is at 167% of target she isn't focussed on this right now?
