well im not gonna bore you all with the back story but basically after a very long time i got the old girl running sweeeet,that was yesterday afternoon,today however i went to get the car from where i do my repairs,took it up the road but it was quite busy so i never got a chance to give it the beans in the dry (it was rainig yesterday) but iwas happy to wait for another day to feel my new found power,except i went to pull off from the lights and the car stalled and wont restart....i looked a right plum pushing the car all the way home (about a mile anyway) it didnt seem that far to my house untill i started pushing!!

anyways ive checked a few things all be it in the dark but shes defo got a spark to the plugs the coil lead itself has a good strong spark but i changed the coil for a spare just in case,ive had a look and theres no plugs loose or pipes come off,with the ignition on i can hear the fuel pump whirring in the back for about 5 or so seconds then stops,other than that i aint got a clue!! everything was fine then it just stalled and wont restart......................any ideas

Try the injector driver relay, under the front slam panel, also the fuel pump relay in the fuse box, 107 on the top of it. Failing that i will drive my bag of ***t volvo to you and we can have a mass Volvo breaking session

just a little update............its up and running again whoop whoop,i dont know how it was even working to start with seeing as the hose from the fuel pump to the casing wasnt attached!!!! its like a brand new motor now nice smooth pick up all the way to 6750 rpm

now i can turn the actuator back in coz its only running 12 psi and im not having that lmao
