Ok, after my warm welcome id like some help please so i can enjoy my volvo.
This is the story so far.
Intermittent starting, sometimes it'll crank for 1 second and start, sometimes it wont start for 20 tries.
I had it the other day where it would start after 5 seconds of cranking with the accelerator fully down.
Today it would start everytime but cranking ranged from 2 seconds to 40 seconds. Then i tried again 20 mins later and nothing atall.
I have tried a new Cranks Position switch, Im told its had a new dizzy and rotor.
The fuel pump is priming as it should so i think the relay and pump are fine.
I had noticed today that the main ignition relay above the fan had silicone around the bottom of it.
Also these are the wired going to it
They are working as they should for now.
The relay however sometimes wouldnt switch, but even with the relay bridged the car wouldnt start.
When the relay does switch the ICV buzzes constantly aswell.
I get a really weak spark untill its running then its a full heavy spark.
Im getting 12v on ignition to the coil and injectors.
I also took the ignition barrel cap off to find nothing damaged.
I should add that when the car starts it runs spot on, wont stall or show any signs of a problem.
Am i right in thinking that my next check would be the cam sensor?
TIA
Mark
