Good score on the $500 Volvo. They are usually the best kind.

Everyone has offered good information and advice, but has focused more on fuel related problems. I lack much expertise, but will offer my $.02.

Did you pull a spark plug or two to check for spark and their condition? If, after trying to start the car, you find that they are soaked in gas, that would quickly indicate (admittably not conclusively) that lack of fuel is not the problem.

Now that it has had a few chances to buck around, look over the air intake hose and connections after the air mass meter. All that movement could have pulled a hose off, making the situation worse.

Good luck,
