Anyone had problems with 2000 S70 Not Starting?... S70

posted by  someone claiming to be Ray N. on  Tue Feb 26 04:36 CST 2002 [RELATED]

There is a flooding problem often called the "Lawnmower Syndrome".
It occurs if you start the car for a few seconds (to back it
out of the garage to get at the lawn mower) and then turn off the
car without letting it warn up a bit.

Any chance something like that occured?

Now, a 2000 should not have this problem. My wife's 1995 850 has
had this problem twice (but now we always run it for 1 minute).
I have a 98 S70 and have never had this problem. The 98 starts
noticibly easier then the 95, too.

I suppose flooding could be caused by a leaky fuel injector or
valves that are not closing (seated) all the way. I think the
dealer needs to take a closer look.
