Problem solved - car finally died in our garage, wouldn't start. Checked the fuel pump relay, OK, had plenty of fuel flow. Had no reason to think it wasn't getting any air, so I checked for a spark. Removed the coil wire from the distributor cap, and, no spark! I figured it was the coil. Ran down to the local Volvo dealer for a new coil........... none in stock. As I was leaving I starting asking the service writer if there was anything else to check, he called a mechanic out who listened to my story and said it probably wasn't the coil, but the bell housing speed sensor (like I had a clue what & where that was). He suggested I try that, I bought one, installed it (no fun, mechanics working on that car must have to have small hands) turned the key, and it started!!!!!!
