My Volvo 850 won't start. What can I do?

Answer by  Jimbob (2275)

If the engine will turn over then you may be able to check for spark. If a spark plug is removed and tested then check for fuel problems.

It depends on whether the starter turns the engine or not. If it does, then you should check the fuel injection and ignition systems. If it doesn't, check the battery and the starter/solenoid. If the battery is flat, jump-start the car from another car or a jumper pack, and replace the battery.

It could be the starter or alternator. Maybe the battery all 3 should be checked. Check the fuses. The fuses and battery is the easiset . Hopefully you have a second car then you can take off the starter and take it to autozone or advance someplace like that and they will check to see it your starter is bad.

See can you check if the spark plugs are working properly to make sure its not a problem here in this field. See if it has fuel problems. Other reasons can be the cause, faulty coils, crank shaft position sensor, ignition module and the ignition barrel switch.
