My new-to-me 1998 V70 XC has been a champ for three months until last night. Warm weather (75) and I stopped the car after 5 minutes of driving! No start - turn over - but no start. Tried for 30 minutes on and off to start. Tow trunk comes - he tries to start it. Nuttin. Sent to my fav shop - this morning car starts up fine! They can't find a problem. My thought is a fuel injection relay - intermittant! Have one on the way from FCP - for $44 bucks I'll throw that at the car as preventative maint!

Any other ideas! I had them charge my AC (was not working when I bought the car in March) Seems to be holding a charge so maybe I avoided the dreaded AC evaporator replacement!

Let me know what else to look for! Random failure drive you crazy! On my 94 I had PCP switch that caused a no start - but that was no crank too!

Bob - saw a beautiful teal 94 850 sedal with only 100K for $1600 on Cincy Craig's - wish I had the dough for that one too! I got 2000 invested in the 98, so I have to stick with it!
