1/2 ton status
Have a friend with a 2000 Volvo V70 XC that he just bought.
He bought it with a hard start problem. The car would start hard but then run fine.
Now the car will not start at all. It cranks, and once in a while sound like it fires, but will not start.
Checked spark, good on all cylinders
Pulled injectors, have good spray pattern on all.
Fuel pressure
is a tad over 55.
Only code the OBD2 shows is turbo control valve. That obviously needs to be addressed, but would not likely cause the car to not start, right?
So if we have fuel, and we have spark, and we are not throwing codes with sensors or anything like that, what else could it be? The PO said that it needed a starter, but it is cranking just fine, so I doubt he knew what he was talking about.
One thing that I want to check but am not currently able to is if the system is holding pressure after the car is shut off, because I just don't have the right adapter for my gauge. But even a leaking fuel pressure regulator would cause a hard start but not a no start condition, I would think.
Any ideas?
