I can see why you are unsure of the symptom. The post starts off, I have a 92 245 wagon that when it gets wet, it will not crank. and then goes on to talk about air mass meters and distributors. While the term "turn over" seems to have become submerged in ambiguity, I'd be shocked to hear there was any dissent over the term "crank" and its clear meaning the starter motor is doing the job making a crank through the grill obsolete.

A good troubleshooting technique (for a no-crank) is offered by kyle245 in this current thread: http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/volvo/1506997/220/240/260/280/update_85_245_wont_start.html

Or the mixed message could just be the result of a lousy morning with a car making a loyal volvo owner late for work and then not much time to calmly call us all for help.

If indeed, the cranking is not a problem, then the standard questions regarding fuel mixture, spark, and compression need to be answered. All of the above could be affected by a weak battery or poor connection in the battery cables.

As told by G.Downs III:

After years of hiding the fact that the love is gone, the last child moved out of the house and
Mom and Dad announced they are getting a divorce.
The kids are distraught and hired a marriage counselor as a last resort at keeping the parents together.
The counselor works for hours, tries all of his methods, but the couple still won't even talk to each other.

Finally, the counselor goes over to a closet, brings out a beautiful upright Bass, and begins to play.

After a few moments, the couple starts talking.

They discover that they're not actually that far apart and decide to give their marriage another try.

The kids are amazed and ask the counselor how he managed to do it.

He replies, "I've never seen anyone who wouldn't talk during a bass solo."

And for that, the counselor gets $200/hr, and doesn't have to join the musicians' union....
