    C70. Just won't fire .......

    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 there no one local who can read them for you, because you really are wasting your time (& money) just replacing random sensors when the whole idea of having diagnostics is too stop the guess work

    The cam sensor is on the end of the Exhaust camshaft,

    The Crank Sensor is directly in the Top of the Bell Housing where the Box meets the Engine held in with One 10mm

    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?

    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.
