Hi all, I have a 1986 Volvo 740 GL that needed a water pump replaced, So I replaced the water pump and drove the car only about 3/4's a mile and the car overheated so bad that it shut down on it's own. After that the car ran only about 5 min and then to about 20sec and now it seems to have lost it's spark and won't start at all. I have replaced the distributor cap and the rotor button and it still won't start?! Any Ideas??? Should I start checking around for something else or should I have the car towed and fixed at the dealer???? Thanks, TractorMike
