No I haven't. Thanks for your consideration Manolo, it is appreciated.

It appears it simply doesn't like to start if it is still warm, it needs to be completly cold...well that is just another sort of observation. The NSS has been checked and re-aligned, the starter solenoid, i am unsure about...Is 157K pretty old for one, bout time for it to go? The starter looks clean on the outside, and the wires are in great shape...but yea, doesn't mean its not kaput!

I am going to take it to a garage today, one that specializes in Volvo...and indy garage. I talked to someone else who had the same problem with their '87 and they couldn't get it fixed...the dealer tried 6 times..course they shouldn't have gone to a dealer.
I'll post and let everyone know how it turns out. My suspicion is that it is something small and easy/minor...just very hard to find.

I did notice last night however that the TB switch did not click when I moved the butterfly...do you think this is associated or is it another problem?

Thanks,
Chuck
