Talking 91 940 Turbo all of a sudden not starting

I just purchased a 1991 940 turbo. prior to the purchase I drove it and it started just fine. Today when I went to pick it up and it would not start. Could someone please tell me where to begin. This is my first Volvo and I really love the styling and safety history. But I am not off to a good start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lookat my posting that reads internal fuel pump right?

The first thing I would do is replace the relay. It is white, top left behind the ash tray. What does it do when you try to start it?

How many miles? How long between it starting and now not?

could be a multitude of things...check by making sure you didn't run out of gas first then check all your fuses, Then pull codes...It could be crank angle sensor,broken timing belt, it could be as easy as fuel pump relay, do you hear your fuel pump running? Could be so many things without actually looking at the car it's like pissin in the wind Good luck!!
