I'm new to the Volvo family.... Got my S70 about a month ago!
130k miles, bought from dealer that sold it new in 2000.
Overall, car is a 9 out of 10, condition-wise... Dealer had stacks of
maintenance records to show the car has been pretty well taken care of.
Question: why, when parked on an incline ( nose UP about 15-20 degrees)
the car will crank as normal, but NOT start....???
I roll it back on flat ground, and crank for about 3-4 seconds, then it finally starts, and runs normal...
Any ideas? Volvo dealer hasn't a clue as to why....
Thanks all, and great forum!

Ps. I'm guessing that a 5spd. S70 isn't real common to see, judging by
the looks on the service writers face!

 

How many times have you been able to duplicate this problem?

 

It's happened twice. Maybe it's from the karma if being in my "EX's" driveway...

 

Hey man! I have a 5spd too! Its good to see another one around here. They're "Rare as hen's teeth," according to my parts guy.

 

Fuel!
