Machine man already pointed to the ignition starter circuit
where there's the ignition switch and a shift interlock switch to worry about.
Please e-mail me the Volvo wiring diagram/fault tracing manual for the 1990 240
so I can help you better.

My hunch, Your problem sounds like an issue I had with a 740.

You can try to start your car with a big screwdriver, and short the starter solenoid lugs.
You have the ignition key in the run position and the car in park and the e-brake on to do this.

There's also a service connector somewhere in the engine bay that you connect
+12 volts to spin the starter. That should be in the Volvo wiring book.

If it starts, it narrows down the number of culprits.

Good luck, Bill
