Volvo died going 55 mph in Chatt. Oh dear what could the matter be

Smelly_Cat · « **on:** October 27, 2012, 02:51:38 PM »

When I turn it over.
I smell gas at manifold, not sure if I have spark
it turns 2-3 times and bogs to a stop. turn key again and it repeats
Seems like it gets to a compression stroke and the valves are closed
The timing belt is 8 months old and through the cover it does not seem stripped.
Any idea's? SC

Check for spark.

Answer is always involving Aluminum, duct tape and a cookie sheet.

Am I logical to think its timing belt jump

If you tensioned it correctly it should last years and 30 or 40 thousand miles, unless you put a used one on it or got a defective one

Didn't think of that. Is the battery dead?

Ok.. Yes spark..and yes gas in it. Added two gallons just for fun. Both fuel pumps wrrrr.

Maybe injectors are not working? Sc

Rare to have all the injectors go bad, but maybe the wires and ECM that give them the signal, simple as a blown fuse, volvos have been famous for there shorted fuse panels

Discovered a neat test that runs the fan then injectors and the fuel pump.. The fuel test did not work...I stuck some paper in the fuel pump relay and the fuel pumps ran. Huray! Volvo. Still did not start. Or even fire a little. Arrrg

Took off fan belt and time belt cover. Yep. The belt marks never line up. Looks like the belt stretched and I should have reset the idler pulley to take out slack. Bummer . Belt looks ok, Should I re use it? Sc

The marks will only line up once, when you install the belt, unless it was so loose you could slide it off by hand I doubt it slipped

I got the cheapest
Belt I could find. Just. Reset the belt. Vroom. We got a live one. I rule. And my back hurts. Sc

It should be pretty snug, I am surprised the belt stretched
