Re: Car won't start S70 1999

I have a friend that had a similar problme, but never got t solved. It happened if the car was started briefly, then turned off. I also heard about this being a problem with some other 850s. Some sort of ignition issue.TPS sytem/ignition trouble.

I have to say, if you think Jap is better, well it isn't. I have regretted advising my mom to buy a Camry, which has experienced non stop engine lights(since new), and now won't start. My older style Volvos, however, always start. Only under extenuatiing circumstances do they fail to crank.Snorty? sometimes, but runners. The 93 245 at 85k has yet to do more than blow a fuse.

Maybe you might think of replacing with an albeit simpler, but more dependable Volvo? Like a 945?

You see, like all these thigns, they have to catch it whenit is failing. Simulate the trouble. And Ford is paying less dealer work, so they also may not want to look.

Good luck.
