850 - no spark issues 850

posted by  someone claiming to be ovlov760 on  Mon Aug 27 14:49 CST 2007 [RELATED]

I recently purchased a 1997 850 non-turbo model. It cranks over happily, but doesn't start. The previous owner replaced the crank sensor and cam sensor with no luck. He also swapped coils with another running Volvo and it still wouldn't start. The non-running 850's coil worked on a running Volvo. He didn't replace the knock sensors. Could faulty knock sensors cause the car not to start?

I've noticed there are instructions on this site for a DIY flash code reader. Will this work a '97 850? I have not taken delivery of this vehicle yet, so I don't what error codes it may report.

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
