ok! i am new to the volvo world. i have been a chevy man all my life. i just bought a 1984 240 wagon. i have always liked this car. well, i bought it from a freind, 2 nights ago. i drove it home, parked it. went out to take the wife for a ride, and it would not start. i pulled the hose off the t-body and shot some carb cleaner in it, and it cranked, then died. it had about a 1/4 of a tank left. so i put 8 gallons of fuel in. cleaned the fuses, and the f-pump relay. is there a common problem i don't know about.</P>


thanks</P>

 

Does the fuel pump prime when you bump the key? You can try jumping the relay for the fuel pump. They are behind the glove compartment. There are 2 of them. You want to jump terminals 30 to 86 I believe</P>
