'00 S40 - Can bad coolant temp sensor actually prevent starting?
Hi all,
You can browse my longer more detailed post on my issue here:
https://volvoforums.com/forum/volvo-...g-steps-71242/
But I was wondering if a faulty coolant temp sensor could actually prevent the car from starting? I ask this because I noticed when I attempted to start the car cold again this morning to no avail, the fans kick right on as soon as I turn the key off. The started turned maybe 4-5 times. After the fan shutoff I just turned the key on and off, no starter attempt, and the fan went right back on.
Seems strange, and I have been having odd temperature issues.
