Volvo RWD 200 Forum

My car hasn't been driven much in the last couple of years. I have noticed a few problems, like the A/C fan comes on after a delay and other weird electrical things. Now it has trouble starting after it sits. After it is warm it runs and starts fine. There are posts on the subject but I am unsure of what set up my 1990 has... I appreciate your suggestions.

Trouble starting Like it cranks a lot before kicking off?

What happens if you turn the Key to the ON position a few times Then try to turn the key to the Full Starter position? That would let the Fuel Pumps kick on a few times to Pressureize the system. Try that next time the car sits.
Maybe the Fuel Pressure Regulator is getting tired and letting the Gas in the Line drift back into the gas tank.

Thank you Tony. I will look back at my records about the Fuel Pressure Regulator and see when it was replaced. I couldn't remember what that part was called that kept the fuel up close their to the fuel rail. You just jogged my memory about a bunch of that stuff. I will have to find it and check it out. Thanks again
