Situation: Changed oil and valve cover gasket, now no start!
http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/index.htm?id=614097

Ok so here is an update on my predicament.

I changed the cap and rotor because they were nearly shot, still same problem. I will try unpluging the AMM to see if it starts. I am getting spark and fuel as I can see and smell both of them with the plug out and cranking. The cam seems to be turning because the timing belt moves. Everything I removed or moved during my maintenence was replaced in the correct order as well.

Besides the AMM, I cannot think of anything else to try. I read something about the ignition suppression relay, could this have an effect and where is it located? A sudden No-Start is quite confusing. Bentley doesn't cover too much on this type of situation (at least I haven't found it)and my Volvo Green manuals are limited to just fuel and engine work.

Any more advice is appreciated!
Thanks everyone.
