940 Enigine Problem(s) STILL 900 1993

A long shot, but it might work:

Several years ago I had an '87 740 that would not start if the engine was warm -the starter would work and the engine would crank but no starting - timing belt, fuel pump, O sensor, air mass meter - we checked it all. I eventually broke down (literally and figuretively) and took it to a very experienced Volvo mechanic here in Houston. They had my car for a week and couldn't figure out what the problem was. Finally, just on a hunch he started replacing my relays one-by-one down below the radio. Guess what? The culprit was a $20 radio spark supression unit - somehow it screwed up the signal to the electronic ignition control. Why, who knows!

VOLVO's - gotta love 'em!

Try that out if you have come to the end of your rope (literally or figuretively), it just might work.
