Good morning everyone,
Thanks to all of you for the replys. I called a friend (dhalljr from the 200 board) and we went to get the car yeaterday morning. Dhall has had a lot of experience with the 700 series cars so he was a huge help.

Once I got it straight in my mind that it was more like a GM system and after reading the FAQ I was a lot more confident.

The first problem we tackeled was to make sure it had enough gas in the tank to run. The gauge had the light on but it didn't show completely out of gas.

Next we were able to get the car to run (most likely it was out of gas) even though it didn't idle and it ran badly. Dhall said it seemed like it had a vacuum leak so the hunt was on. As I looked around the manifold and throttle body two of the elbows had HUGE holes in them (the biggest hole was in the line to the MAP sensor)and the line to the flame trap was cracked. We replaced the elbows and lines and it ran beautifully. I drove it home and it runs GREAT!!! My daughter is VERY happy with it and feeling less upset about her wreck that totaled her Mercedes 240D (her baby as she called it) earlier this week.

I have to say that this is the best riding and driving Volvo I've ever owned, and I've owned a bunch. I'll be fixing a lot of tiny little things but it's basically a daily drive as of right now.

Thanks again for all your help,
Tony T
