Possible answer 1 - Connections on battery a bit loose, allows corrosion to destroy conductivity.
Possible answer 2 - Idle Air Control Valve is getting gunged up, should be cleaned thoroughly every two years along with the other components in the inlet tract (air filter to inlet manifold).
Possible answer 3 - Time to change the thermostat.
If no go come back for more possible answers.
Cheers, Peter.

Same problems with my 91 Camry 235,000 miles. Found out that it was the distributor. You may which to check that.

OK, now I really have a problem here, it won't start at all, tries to fire and just acts like it's starved for fuel. Cracked open the fuel line at the fuel rail, and it sprayed fuel every where, so I doubt it's a fuel pump problem, cleaned the Idle Air sensor to no avail. (Thanks for the input I never cleaned that before, it was a little dirty.) Any other ideas before I have it towed to the local Volvo expert?

Have you tried unplugging the air mass meter? If not give this a shot, just push in the clip and unplug the electrical connector, if the engine now starts then this is the likely culprit.

On 25/11/03 1:37 PM, in article snipped-for-privacy@posting.google.com, "Fred" decided to come out from under the bed and slurred:
Pressure regulator, not enough pressure from the pump, something has found its way into all injectors, injector(s) not connected, died, fuel rail has a blockage, ingnition module buggered, ignition module not plugged in. No spark plugs in the motor, airfilter has something plastic over it? Battery rooted?
All the best
