Its easy enough to check for spark but how are you checking that you are really getting gas. Are the spark plugs new. If so the check that you have the right ones. It is not uncommon for a parts guy to give you the wrong plugs . If the plugs are not new and the car was running fine with those plugs before all this happened and the plugs look fine now, no bad, black carbon deposits then lets move on . Did you just put gas in the car. sometimes you can get a load of bad gas, I mean water in the gas when I say bad. Been lots of rain lately and this does happen. Pull the plugs on the car and spray some starter fluid down the cylenders. Replace the plugs and turn the engine over. If it fire up for a second or two and then quits, I would start looking at the fuel system. The fuel solinoid relay, which would supply power to the fuel pump could be a problem. Be sure you are getting fuel in the cylenders.

My 1993 volvo 940 has fire where should be, and gas flow where should, but still want crank can you give me solution this my problem

Ok. if you have made sure you have ignition spark at the spark plugs by turning over the engine with a spark plug wire off and held next to the block and you have also made sure your Fuel injection is pulsing and putting fuel into the engine, start from scratch.Pull out all your spark plugs,clean them off check the gap and let the cylinders dry out.The put them back,turn the key to on and make sure again that y our fuel injection is priming the system.Then spin the engine over.if you are still not getting the car to start,then you may need to check and make sure your camshaft is not broken by spinning the engine over and making sure you have spark at each plug.Try that and repost.Good luck.

Wont start

First things first.You need to find out if its getting spark and fuel.You can find out if its getting spark by taking any plug wire off and holding it just above the plug.have someone else try to start the car.if you see spark then you have it.for fuel look on the fuel rail.that is located on the top of the motor.its metal. look for something resembling a valve stem on it.push in the schrader valve and have someone turn the key off and on if fuel comes out you have fuel

1990 Volvo 740 Turbos wagon

Maybe bad Power Stage/Inquiry:driving down the highway at @ 60mph with 1/4 tank of gas in 100 degree temp inwell kept 84 760 Turbo; car just dies, engine turns over but will notstart] [Response:] Well, when my '84 760 Turbo died for no apparentreason as you describe, it was in the freezing dark, going over Donner Pass.Everything on the car worked except no spark and the engine wouldn't run. It turned out to be the ignition module, which is mounted on the inner driver'sside fender well, above the battery, close to where someone else mentioned theballast resistor was located. It's easy to get to and replace. Ifthat turns out to be the culprit, shop around before buying the new part. Volvo dealers charge several hundred $$$ for this thing, but I found one froman independent parts distributor for about $90 - the identical part madeby BOSCH with the same part number on it.
