'93 850 won't start 850 1993

We left on vacation for a week and left the volvo sitting outside while we were gone for about a week (185,000 miles on car) Car turns over but won't start, sounds a little different, but have never had to crank it more than a couple of seconds to start bdfore, have not done much diagnostics yet...smell gas, so assume its at least getting fuel, seems to have no spark at the coil, so simple diagnosis would be coil???

Timing belt is still in place, so assume (hope) it is not that

I had just replaced the plugs and fuel filter a few weeks prior.

Last drive was a short drive down the block to my neighbor...ran fine when I parked it.


if more detail would help with some answers let me know and I will try and respond.

thanks in advance
