Volvo 850 T10 Kompressor (Twin engined Project)

[Dangerous Dave]

LOL, it's like a cat that doesn't want to go to the vets to be neutered

[claymore]

I now feel like a real 850 owner now, this is the first time i've ever had a problem starting it, even with 3 engine changes and all the mods, it's never failed to start.

welcome to the club!

faulty sensor?

[claymore]

Who knows? I sort of hope it's the coil as I've had issues with it in the past if I haven't used the car for a while and water get's in through the bonnet vent into it. (all that will change with the new bonnet)

When the car comes back on the road, it will be sporting an aggressive V70 front end (With a Claymore twist)

Ice and lemon....lol

Think your sig pic gave it away a few weeks back Colin.
Hope you get it sorted & let surgery commence!

Ok, update on the non starting, swapped the coil, still no spark, took the injectors out, and no fuel either, I can hear it prime so, is it most likely the crank sensor, or should i be looking somewhere else?

[JT]

cam sensor or flywheel?

Some ideas here Colin - immobilser or ECU

http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=65203

The guy checked the ECU by confirming whether it was sending power to one of the sensors on ignition.

[hybriduno]

usually if it's an imob error then it will fire for a split second.....then stop, sounds more like an earth fault to the ecu to me.

[claymore]

Deffo not imobiliser, I'll change the crank sensor tomorrow, and see what happens

[claymore]

Well, that doesn't look right:

[claymore]

So after it's non starting hiccup last week the Volvo has gone off to it's temporary home, so there should be some regular updates from now.

[Harvey]

So it looks like you were correct with the crank sensor ,any idea how that got damaged then or was it just down to its age it failed.

[claymore]

I suspect something broke off the starter, as it's been getting worse over the past few months.
