'93 Volvo 240 sometimes won't start: has new air flow mass meter and crank position sensor 200 1993

I'm a member here but forgot my password and there seems to be no provision to have your password sent to you or to get a new one, so I have to post as a guest.

My '93 240 has this odd problem where it sometimes just won't start. It will turn over rapidly and under normal circumstances starts easily. However, I know in 2 seconds it is not going to start. One day, it started after 20 turns of the key but overtime I put it in reverse to back out of the driveway it died immediately.

After it was towed to the shop, they replaced the airflow mass meter and the crank position sensor.

It worked fine for about two weeks and then did the same thing again. Had it towed again. After a week it finally refused to start at the shop. They cleaned some contacts, checked the fuel pump (getting enough fuel) and pronounced it fixed.

It worked for two weeks and then Friday morning it refused to start and hasn't started since.

Ideas? I'm clueless, the shop is clueless and I can't keep having it towed at $80 a pop.

Thoughts?
Thanks!
