Hi, All -

Our trusty 240 with over 330K has stopped starting. I'm getting no firing or sputtering, just starter spinning, Prior to dying completely, it was running rough, and required blipping the throttle to keep her going. Car has historically been meticulously maintained by professional independent Volvo shops in Portland, Oregon and by me following Bentley guide. I've checked the fuse near the power steering reservoir, but need a structured way of troubleshooting the problem. Any advice on obvious things to check to get this old girl going again?

Many thanks!

Aaron
