My 1994 Volvo 960 was sitting on my garage for more than a year. I tried to get it start it up, but the battery was dead. I purchased a new battery ,and tried again, but still it would not start. I put fresh gasoline in the tank, and sprayed the air intake with starting fluid. It tries to start, but then it dies.
I have tried this method for the past two days, but I think I need advice from you guys the experts.
How should I proceed next?
I also like to know the physical location( a drawing or photo would be nice)of the distributor to check, rotor condition.
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Fuel tank needs to be drained, and fresh fuel added.tomoni40 wrote:My 1994 Volvo 960 was sitting on my garage for more than a year
Injectors need to be pulled, and flow tested at a shop.
E10 fuel will separate out over-time, especially when moisture gets into tank. Pure alcohol will eat away.
Hi guys: Thank you very much for your kind assistance.
I have filled the gas tank with fresh fuel and some fuel injectors additives. I know that you advised to empty the tank,and do the rest of clean up.I know that that ethanol in the fuel is a bear,and causes lots of problems on every type of engine that uses it.
Anyhow,before going all the way with the tank,I have been trying a few things,and I want to run them by you,and tell me what you think.
I put fresh gasoline directly on the air intake,and when trying to start the car,it would run fine for a couple of seconds,and then dies. I could hear the a whining sound,when I insert the key on the ignition and start the car,and when I turn it off. Another thing is that the little red light on the dashboard where the fuel gauge needle indicate full or empty,shows a little red light telling me that the fuel tank is empty,even though there plenty of fresh gasoline in the tank. I believe that if I could check the gas flow towards the fuel injectors,I could know for sure if the gas pump is pumping gas or not. Where could I disconnect the fuel line before it reaches the fuel injectors,and physically see if gas is flowing to them.Or maybe a faulty fuel pump relay?
My suspicion is that either the fuel gauge tank relay is faulty,or the float inside the gas tank is not working properly.What do guys think?
I need assistance in locating the fuel pump relay, I located the fuse panel of the driver side,but not the relay pane.Some sites shows location behind the astray/radio panel on the passenger side.Please advise of the proper location.
Another recommendations and suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Take care and thanks again!
