First step will be to have a fuel pressure gauge hooked up. If your pressure is low or not there at all, probably a fuel pump or fuel pressure sensor. If your fuel pressure is good, the next things to check would be spark plugs and coil packs, are the plugs worn/dirty and are the coil packs cracked,also have it checked to make sure the valve on the throttle body isn't stuck closed. Very basics of a car starting are always spark,air,fuel the fuel and air need to mix together properly then you need good spark to ignite it. Everything I have mentioned should be able to be properly checked by any good mechanic or shop. I work at a Volvo dealership and some things can get complicated for even a great mechanic that is not familiar with volvos. If none of the above mentioned are the problem and your mechanic doesn't easily find something other than what I mentioned then I would recommend taking it to a dealership. If it is one of the things I mentioned a good local mechanic or shop should be able to fix it and you'll probable save compared to having it fixed at dealership. Hope this helps, good luck

My 1990 Cadillac Deville wont start or engage starter

Sounds like you blew fuse. Fix fuse and borrow a car starting switch they use at car repair shops. As long as you can turn tumbler to on ,you can start using the starting switch from repair shop..There should be a way to run a start button to start car and your off/on key should be OK
