Charles;

Im not going to take exception to the info you give about 60s ignition systems because its all true and correct...I will however take exception to redesigning the ignition system on ONE car when thousands out there work just FINE.

Some failed component notwithstanding, the problem sounds like it MAY just be the common difficult hotstart (or start after heat-soak) situation, which just about all vintage Volvos have. When you have a computer with sensors all over the place, the computer knows how best to start under those conditions, but for ALL of my vintage Volvos where I'M the computer, the hot-start procedure is: Ignition ON, No Choke, throttle(s) wide open and kept there, then crank until it starts...back off the throttle as it starts and then blip it a few time to clear the engine...works EVERY TIME! Problem? What problem!

Cheers
