I have a 91 940 with 200K miles. It won't start. When the problem started it was slugish like not getting gas. I replaced the fuel filter, the fuel pump and the in tank pump (which was a bitch) I am getting spark. It won't fire. Been sitting in the driveway all winter and with the warmer weather need to get back to working on it again. Oh yes replaced the radio suppression relay too. Need some ideas and luck..thanks for reading.

    Hi w9kir,

    "It won't start. When the problem started it was slugish like not getting gas"

    First off, check your OBD for any codes.

    Yes you have spark. Did you test for spark externally by using an extra spark plug? How's engine's spark plugs condition?

    Verify your new fuel pumps are running. Listen for their sound (during ignition key turned to position II) at underneath the car and at the fuel tank inlet. If none, check your fuel injection relay. If you have a spare swap it in for a while.

    Air, fuel, spark, timing and power (battery). Make sure the battery is good too.

    Amarin.
