volvo 850 se wont start with ignition key
my volvo 850se 2ltr 5cyl 20valve 1994 refuses to start with the ignition key. tow it and it starts and runs fine..... the onboard computer shows no fauits and this is completely baffing me......when the key is turnedthe engine turns over. but there is no spark......on releasing the key, the coil gives a spark.....we have changed the coil,and the but it is still the starter but it is still the same ....it seems as though when the key is turned fully it drains power from the coil but sparks when the key returns to normal running position.......any help on this would be apreciated. thanks ......col 850
