Hey guys, so I have a 1995 Volvo 850 Wagon (non-turbo), and recently I decided to replace my PCV System. Simple, right? So I replaced it, and during the process I accidentally broke the plastic intake "tree." So we ran to the junkyard and grabbed a new one and put it in and the car turned on perfectly... for the rest of that day.

The next day, it took much longer to start, it would crank for a few seconds and eventually start. So I decided I'd redo the PCV job, because I must've messed something up. So I did it again, and found nothing. So I asked some of my mechanic friends to come and take a look (I'm just a broke teenager), and they told me I'm not getting sparks, noting that my under-3,000 mile spark plugs were burnt to a crisp. They said it could be the ignition coil, seeing as I had just recently replaced my distributor rotor and cap (bought it from FCP).

So we got a new ignition coil from the junkyard, and nothing changed. If anything, now it doesn't even want to start at all. So then we thought it was the Camshaft Position Sensor, so we replaced that, and still got nothing. At this point I'm at a complete loss and no idea what to do.

As everyone else commonly says, "help!"
