Hi:

Thanks for any input you are willing to provide’

Re: 1987 Volvo 740 GLE (non turbo)

Problem: Will not start on an intermittent basis (not as intermittent as it might seem on further effort as described below)

Action taken thus far:

Had it towed 3 times to 3 different mechanics the last time to a very knowledgeable Volvo mechanic.

The first 2 mechanics gave up because ever time they tried to start it, it worked perfectly.

The 3rd kept the car for five days --- tried numerous times and it always started --- he let it run for various lengths of time up to 4 hours once and could not get it to fail to start. I picked the car up drove it for 20 or so miles into my drive way ---- shut it off and ten minutes later tried to start it and it just kept turning over with no results pushed it in the garage and left it over night --- it immediately started in the morning --- I drove it 2 miles and parked and just for kicks tried to start it and again got the same no start results --- 2 hours later it started up right away --- drove it for 15 or so miles and turned it off --- tried to start it and it fired up right away at 5 and 10 minutes interval up to an hour.

Fuel Pumps Work ---- get spark --- battery fully charged.
