Re: Starter on Volvo 850 won't turn over
Good news, everyone!
After a lot of work on his part, he got the engine to manually turn over as described above. So the engine isn't locked up What's more, after messing more with the starter, he got it to turn over the engine too! Double score. On to the next problem: the engine doesn't start. Which was probably the original problem before the previous owner ruined their starter and battery trying too long to get the car running Here's the symptoms: * Turnover but no ignition * Hum from the gas pump (there's a new fuel pump relay) What would you recommend for him? |

Re: Starter on Volvo 850 won't turn over
Oooh, aweeeesomeeeneesss..... he got the car started tonight! He did something involving putting motor oil over the spark plugs and screwing them down (?) (pardon my ignorance if I'm describing this wrong), and it worked, though the car is reportedly "smoking like a volcano right now" because of the procedure
He'll find out tomorrow whether there's any other problems that require addressing (apart from needing new tires), but it sounds like your help may have helped solved this problem! |

Here's my guess as to what happened in the last couple of days.
