Engine turns, got spark and fuel but no start. V70-XC70 98

posted by  someone claiming to be Brad on  Mon Jan 8 02:23 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Had an unusual one-time failure. When starting cold (at 50 degrees), my V70 spudered once and then it gave no signs that it wanted to fire. I cranked it for 5-8 seconds at a time and repeated this about every 1 minute for 4 or 5 times. At no time did it even hint at firing. I checked the spark and could smell fuel (hmmm). It finally started after about 10 minutes of sitting and has been fine ever since. It acted and smelled like it was flooded. Could this be?

V70 non-turbo.

Fuel from same gas station as always.

Gas cap on tight.

Never depressed gas peddle during starts.

Any suggestions?
