I lived in an apartment complex for 8 months when I was young. Same deal. no maintanence, no washing the cars, nothing. I was used to doing all my work when I lived with my folks, this was odd to me. I didn't stay long.

Usually, when a car is running normal, A catostophic CPU failure wont happen.
Same with Fuel pump relay. I am betting on the Timing Belt.

Any ideas at all how many miles are on that belt? Volvo wants you to change them every 60K miles.

If you romove the rubber stopper in the Plastic Timing Belt cover you should be able to feel the Belt on the Tensioner. If you feel and can spin the idler....The belt aint there and it's broken.
If you have an e-mail address I can show you what the belt looks like under the cover so you know what you are feeling for.
Click on the Envolope next to my name and e-mail me your e-mail address if yu don't want it public.
