This procedure usually works:
·Check the battery cable connections:
Make sure the negative cable makes a good ground connection at the battery and (preferably) at the engine. Make sure the positive cable, makes a good connection at the battery and at the starter.
·Check the battery the simple way, like this:
Turn on the headlights, then try to start the car.If the headlights do not dim or go out, then the battery is likely ok.
·Check the starter and solenoid:
If the wiring looks ok, then look at the starter solenoid for a good connection, and proper voltage at the starter(10 volts minimum while cranking).
If the starter spins and no crank, the problem is most likely the Solenoid's pinion gear is stuck.
Have someone hit (not too hard) the starter while you try to start the car. This usually works by dislodging a stuck pinion gear.
·Make a simple test of the alternator:
If you can, somehow get the engine running, measure the voltage at the battery. It should be at least 13.6 volts to properly charge the battery.

It could be off 180, if making a bad knocking sound then yes piston is probibly out but turn ur distributor rodar 180 degrees or even 360 because u may be on your compression stroke when u need to be on exsaust. Double check your marks on belt might be off a tooth.
Check to make sure the car is in time. I have found with my 98 Volvo V70 that if the timing is off just a couple of teeth the car will crank but not come to a full start.
I ran into this a month ago. Check your battery. Volvo's and other euro cars are very picky about cranking voltage. have a friend put a volt meter across the battery while you are cranking. If it drops much below 11 volts, its probally not going to start. Have a shop load test the battery. Hopefully, this is the cheap fix to your problem. (my other customer had spent over $300 at the dealer)
hi 1st check if light working 2u can not run all lights at same time; ok u need a rely4 pin or 5pin rely 85 86 pins to energize the rely pins 30 87 is used to energize the lights 87a is not used center pin; 3need tagl switch that have light ;find right wire for parking lights hookup 85to that wire 86 go to Negev 87 go to a15 amp fuse that gets power from B+ .30 go to plw lit now u can run low beam+plw or H beam+plw now u can run safly evriting
