Depends, are you a democrat or republican? :)

After a lot of coaxing & repeated starting tries, it finally caught and I ran off to do several hours worth of errands - stop start all running and starting perfectly. Code now reads 1-1-1. Why did this come about? The day before, I started my baby, backed into the driveway & turned it off. Then after cleaning out the garage, I started it up & drove it back in. Maybe something in the fuel delivery which acted up because I never let it run for more than 20 seconds both times?

Ah ... a write-in vote for John McCain!

You've answered your own question. Engine was flooded with fuel from the two short runs. This is very common on the 850, especially the 20v's which run very rich at cold start and will easily flood.

Tim..

check fuel pump relay..i had the similar problem

Now we know how W won: a jamming device killed all the Volvo computers on election day. W just played the percentages.
