Been using the C70 as a daily, been going great came home Thursday night and parked up. Came out this morning and it turning over but refuses to fire.. Changed the antenna ring, found a snapped earth cable on engine so fixed that but no joy, seems immobiliser related as not getting spark ( changed out coil etc ) ....any ideas ?
It's a 98 C70 T5 GT
Could the ECU fail in some way ?
Is it M4.4, or ME7, can you hear the fuel pump priming?
try the crank sensor
As above, or the cam sensor ;)
Try reading the codes & see what it says
Ignorance here....where is crank or cam sensor ....can't get it running to get it to a garage for codes tho maybe just need to get it recovered to get it to a garage
Found the cam sensor..crank one to find now
It's 4.4 and yes I here pump runningQuote:

if its looks like this i have a good used one you can try
Attachment 24646
It has a throttle cable , will try get a code reader as Pedro is right....could be wasting money and time
You have pm
i took this off to have a look and get ready to put another in i cant believe that this small disc with what looks like some bits from Maplins can stop the car in its tracks lol
put a volt meter across the cam sensor wires, if it oscillates between 0-5v while cranking it should be ok, can you feel the icv vibrating with ignition on?
Sorted...big thanks to Merc85... It was the cam sensor after all so all good now :)
Sorry I missed this thread, glad you got sorted.
For future reference, I have code readers to cover most Volvos and I'm not too far away.
Thanks buddy I will keep that in mind :)
