I just bought a 92 Volvo 940 GL. It's in great condition aside from the fact that it won't start. I replaced the plugs and wires and I've tried starter fluid. I filled the tank also. It hasn't been started in a year. The battery was totally dead so I recharged it. I'm at wits end. The thing that conserns me, having never owned a Volvo, there is a blinking light on my radio, which won't work either. I was wondering if maybe there was a factory anti-theft in the radio and that's why it wouldn't start. I can get it to roll over and go it to fire with the starter fluid twice for a cpl seconds. I can hear the fuel pump kick in when I turn the key over. I can't afford to put new fuel pumps in, any suggestions?

Check the crank sensor. It is located on top of the transmission and plugs in at the firewall. If it is frayed I would start there. If the insulation is coming off you will see a tin foil type material showing. If it is bad it will cause the car not to start. Also may want to check the radio suppresion relay. It is a black relay under the hood, and also maybe the ignition module. It is located on the left fender toward the front. Most of these will cause the car to have no spark if faulty. Have you checke for spark?
