My 98 V70 XC pulled a no-start again on me 10 minutes ago. Car had been sitting overnight and had not bee driven today. Ambient temp outside 93. I accidentally activated the safety feature first (unlocked car with key fob from inside the car). Got out - used key in the lock to stop the flashers - car turns over and will not start. Huh!

Technically this is a cold start issue, but I am wondering if the theft lockout feature might be a connection? Previous owner disabled the horn from flashing - just flashers come on - is there a connection?

I had replaced the FI relay, cam sensor and checked all fuses three months ago. My indy garage looked at and found nothing. Not a peep of a starting issue since then. It actually has been running Well, hoping I can solve this as I am as broke as the rest of the country and need my XC to get to work!

I bet dollars to doughnuts that after two hours I'll go back out and it will start.

Geeeez! This is the last thing I need is a crapped out XC 70. I don't mind rattles, groans and odd stuff, but no starts drive me nuts!
