Thanks for all the input so far.............

I went back to town this afternoon - with a freshly re-soldered fuel pump relay in hand.

No start.

----- unplugged AMM

No Start

------ checked rotor and cap - re-installed -

No Start

car smells like it's flooding - a rich mixture - when cranking - does sputter/cough once or twice...
Put pedal to floor to clear fuel mixture - no change. - except speedo needle hops around.


No start

Called AMA - these Volvo's do tow nice...

Car is now at home in driveway - plugged in block heater - and battery charger.

Left it for a few hours - tried it again

NO Start !!!!!!!


FYI - I have checked/cleaned the AIC valve, and throttle body within the past 3 days.


OK -


so maybe I am missing something basic.

Or else there is something else I need to consider as far as the electronic part.

thanks in advance
