Default New cam sensor and still wont run...

i put in a new cam sensor and the car still wont start. i was out doing something yesterday and my car stalled out a few times but started back up then i went into a store and came back out and it wouldnt start at all. after doing a lot of reading and talking to people everything pointes to the cam sensor but after putting in a new one it didnt work. any other sugestions as to what it could be?

I would pull codes from the ECU. What model year is your 850?

Some of the popular causes for no-start:

- Retiring fuel pump
- Retiring fuel pump relay
- Retiring fuel system main relay
- Retiring MAF sensor
- Retiring ECT (Engine Coolant Temp) sensor
- Neglect
- Etc...

Is Check Engine Light on?

Try retrieving fault codes from the ECU:

http://volvospeed.com/Repair/a2.html

Your 850 is 1995 model so it has OBD-I terminal.

See attached for additional info.

Let us know if you need further guidance as to retrieving fault codes.
