Re: Replaced broken timing belt, but still wont start... Help! 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Charles Alspaugh on  Wed Aug 1 08:31 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I had a similar issue after replacing my timing belt a couple months ago. I was fortunate enough to be @ my Volvo mechanic's shop where we were able to install test parts to eliminate possible causes.

My issue ended up being a bad electrical connection under the hood, between the battery and the left side shock tower, and between the fender and the ignition coil @ some sort of relay location. Under a plastic cover I had 4 electrical connections, 3 of which looked like perfect factory crim connections. However, the 4th connection looked like bubba the wonder chimp had got ahold of it.

Here is a list of other items we checked before finding out the real issue.

Speed senor?? (on back firewall somewhere not easy to get to)

Ignition coil and wire

Power regulator?? (next to left front headlight)

ECM computer (under right side dash)

Good Luck
