This could be a relay problem. (they appear to be a lot of the electrical problems with volvos.)
try twisting them gently while turning the ignition key.
You will locate them behind the ashtray, but in order to remove/replace them, you will need to remove the housing. 2 screws for the cigar lighter, and it will just 'pop off'.
good luck.

SOURCE: code 1-1-3 volvo 940 turbo

The code seems to point to the camshft actuator circuit. Namely the Oil Control Valve. Probably needs replacement. I do not know the location on your vehicle. I suggest you ask a mechanic or try to find it online.

if the battery is completely dead it may not carry spark...however sometimes it takes quite awhile to recharge enough to start the engine, after the battery has been run down.

My volvo s40 fails to start i went out in it this morning and went back to it and turned the key, an engine relay clicks every half a second and the lights on the dash extinguish as if its going to start...

try jumping it first. If it will jump, you probably have a battery or alternator issue. Both can be tested to determine which is bad. If it does not jump, the troubleshooting steps are different.

Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6222268-engine_doesnt_crank_turn_over . These are generic instructions. If you get stuck or need specific instructions for your car, please get back to me with model, year and engine info.

I have a 92 volvo 940 that the battery went dead in and when I recharged it the radio locked. What is the code to unlock the radio?

A volvo dealership can tell you , or if you have the owners manual , and are lucky , you might find that the original owner wrote the code down in the book somewhere.

My volvo 940gl did exactly the same, it turned out to be the fuel injection relay. I changed it and the car ran perfectly happy for the next 2 years until I sold it.
