Problem with Starting 200

I have a 1988 240 sedan. Never had a days trouble out of it until today. It will not start. It has been about 5 days since I last ran it. I checked the fuses and all seem to be good. I turn on the key but do not hear the fuel pump engage. I replaced the fuel pump relay and no luck. If I keep the key on like I am trying to start it, I smell a little bit of gasoline. I have an extra ecu, have thought about putting that one on just to see. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as always.

Todd :-)

    Before you blame the computer, have you checked for spark? One thing unique about Volvos, if the battery isn't up to speed, it will give all the symptoms of a good battery, but won't start.

      I went out this morning and it fired right up. Must be the in-tank fuel pump.
