Hi
I have a 2005 volvo s40 2.4i . I cant seem to get it started . it swings but does not start. i checked the plugs and there is spark. i check all injectors as well. There is fuel coming in as well. so i'm baffled it is out of warranty so i want to try fix it myself before taking it in to agents.
thanks
Shay
Get somebody who has a diagnostic scanner... OBD .. to connect it to your car and see if there are any error codes.
It's possible that a sensor has failed
SOURCE: car won't start / volvo 240 dl fuel injection
you nood to check all power conition.s at the battery perhaps neg
SOURCE: 2001 Volvo s40/ takes 5-10 seconds to start.
fuel filter is at right side of gas tank undernieth car
by pumping the gas all you are doing is opening the throttle plates alowing some air.its not uncomin for injection cars with higher mileage to need alittle more air for start up.
check ECT sensor.
clean throttle plates
is check engine light on?

well first the fuel pump relay is bad, that is easily replaced. next you have no spark. the first thing you do is take the cap off the distributerand crank the engine. if it spins that tell syou thyat at least the tang or gear on the shaft of the distributor is ok and not broken. next thing is remove the #1 plug and use a 1/4 drive extension 6" long and turn the crank by hand until the #1 cylinder is top dead center(put the extension in the hole of head where the plug was and you should feel the top of the piston also make sure you can feel the top of the piston with half the extension this way you don't drop it in the cylinder with the piston at TDC(top dead center) the rotor of the distributor should be pointed at the #1 firing position. IF it does not that means your timing is off and you need to retime it by taking off timing cover and either replacing the belt/chain or gears. now if you do not have a distributor and you have a coil pack there could be only 2 things that won't give spark. either a bad coil or your altenater is bad(the battery is responsible for starting not running the vehicle like alot of people assume. the altenator energizes the coil which inturngives spark. hope this helps you please rate this thanks
SOURCE: VOLVO S40 DOESNT START OCCASIONALLY
sounds like you need a new battery, it probably isnt running enought cranking amps to start your car, try a different battery and it should start fine
SOURCE: 1989 Volvo 240 GL: Will not start, no spark, no fuel
it is likely either the Crank position sensor, or the ignition module. (module is in the left front fender area behind the turn signal)
