Hello every one. I just recently bought my first volvo. So far I love it even though it currently won't start. A couple of weeks after I bought it we got our first heavy rain since I had owned it. I assumed that the cap must have gotten moisture in it and since everything was pretty old I replaced the cap and rotor, the plug wires, and the plugs. It still wouldn't start. I then figured that the coil must be bad, so I changed that too. Still no good. Now I don't know what to do. There is no spark and there seems to be nothing coming out of the coil, the old one or the new one. Does this car have points? And if so how do I get to them to clean them up? I don't see how to. If any one can help with this I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

 

No spark can arise from 4 conditions: bad ignition coil, bad Power Stage, bad RPM sensor, or broken wires leading to above. Go to www.stepbystepvolvo.com for free guide to 740 no-starts (close enough for your 240).
