"Do you have good bright spark? If so, ignition should be good."

Um, it seemed bright. I could see it quite well in the light of day. I'm not sure how to quantify it.


"Are the plugs wet or dry after you attempt a start?"

After I attempted the start, the plug I pulled was not wet. I've pulled plugs before after trying to start a car and seen how soaked they can get. The one plug I pulled was not wet. Perhaps I should turn the car over for several minutes and see how the plugs look?


"Compression?"

I haven't checked the compression.


"And spark at the right time. Had an 85 that was 6 teeth off, wouldn't start."

I could see how that would screw things up, but is that something that could go from "fine" to "not start" within a few hours? I have a timing light, but would that even work without the engine running?


"Have you jumpered the fuel pump relay and see if it will start?"

No, and not sure how to do that. But as I stated above, both fuel pumps are working (and are brand new).


"You mentioned whine in Radio suppression relay. Really doesn't have anything to do with the radio. Just a crap name that volvo gave it."

Ah, good to know. I mentioned it only because from what I read in the FAQ, Volvo instituted these because of complaints or radio noise that is related to the engine's RPM. I thought that maybe the reason my radio had that noise was because of a faulty RSR.
