Anyone had a hard time starting the 240's after changing either or both main fuel pump / filter?? A hard enough time that you thought fuses/relays/etc were faulty?
Thanks--Tyler

I've not changed the "main" pump, but I've changed the "in tank" pump & filter changed several times with no problems. Out of curiousity, did you use a "new" Volvo pump ???

I am still wondering what happened. I would hope it was a priming issue, since the filter and main pump were "empty" when starts were attempted. We are in day #10 and the car starts immediately, runs great, with no spooky things going on. Thanks - Tyler
