Non-Starting volvo Part 3. *With Pictures*!!

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike on  Wed Apr 16 12:02 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I guess I'll recap the story. I got busy with school and haven't driven the car in about a week and now it won't start. During that time we had pretty severe rains but i've never had water problems before. I have spark, It cranks but won't start up. Fuel Delivery problem.

I looked at the relay below the passenger seat:

Opened it up and it looked like it was functional, no moisture and all the contacts were clean with no cracks in the solder or anything.


Next I tried to locare the 25 amp fuse for the fuel injection but i couldn't find it. Here's a picture of the engine bay close to the battery.

There is, however, a 30amp fuse on the little red line coming from positive. (I unscrewed the powersteering resevoir to try to make for a better picture)

So I'm still stranded, i've heard something about the 4-6 trick or something like that. Can anyone clarify what this means? How should I go about checking my fuel delivery system and find a prognosis? I'll have access to a voltmeter, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It sucks not being able to get around!

Cheers,

Mike
