cold starting problems 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Mikey two Volvos on  Sat Feb 22 10:16 CST 2014 [RELATED]

Quick test is squirt in some ether (quickstart) from cold and engine should fire up straight off...this indicates that lack of fuel is the prob so its a temp-related issue or the ECU as a prob...if it does not start with the ether then its an electrical issue (check plugs points esp rotor arm, as everyone forgets them) If it does start from cold with the ether then its not getting fuel because of too low a resistance from the sensor or that the ECU is ignoring the info.
