Had problems starting either warm or cold, have got a fix for it though. Which is, turn ignition on but don't turn over car, pump the accelerator a few times leave for 10 to twenty seconds and then turn over . This normally does it, however if it doesn't catch first time I won't be able to start car for another twenty minutes or so. Car will turn over but not fire.

Think its fuel related maybe fuel relay .

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

 

Yes it does sounds fuel related. But more like the motor is loosing the prime of fuel.
I wonder if it is a pump issue.

 

new to volvos so take my info with a grain of salt....+1on fuel related. can you do a fuel pressure test. is your fuel filter dirty? on some cars a dirty or bad IACV can cause these symptoms

 

I've give this and the pump a go soon ..........layed up with man flu at the moment.

 

So, I've got very similar symptoms on my 850 non-turbo wagon. I've got 42 psi on the fuel rail; Haynes says 43.5 but it should be fine, right? No fault codes on the computer, so I'm checking the injectors next to see if they're all electrically sound.
