Thanks to all of the patient, forgiving folks who contributed to the challenge of my PITA intermittent no start problem. (Goatman, Aleekat, lucid, Will740turbo, fixit2002, mmal231294 and everyone else!)

I received the new sensor from FCP Groton. Pulled out the current CPS - outer insulation was pretty thoroughly cracked off but the inner wires looked well insulated - until I got right down to the sensor. Sure enough the inner insulation was degraded just like a pre-88 Volvo wiring harness. The two wires were both exposed and it is amazing the car was actually running at the time.

Since I am too busy to do much service to those who are in need on this board I am gonna make a financial contribution. I am as committed to my old Volvos as I am my body parts... and therefore I will always need this resource.

You guys are great!

Jack
