Service light comes on for a minute - 93 volvo 960 wagon

The service light comes on when I start the car and then goes off after about a minute. Also, my check engine light is on, but I had a problem fixed with the engine yesterday.

You probably need to get the codes cleared on the ecu before the engine light will go off. Even after you fix the problem, the computer doesn't know that the problem has been solved until the fault codes have been cleared.

I had this issue with my Volvo last year. However, I was told that the reason that it kept coming on was that something was loose or missing and that the car was sensing that. Have you taken it in to get checked again? Perhaps there is something that was missed. That's exactly what my situation was. However, I was able to get it fixed by going to the auto parts store, getting the piece that was causing the trouble and having it put on so that the car would stop sensing anything. I have yet to have another issue with the light since then. Your Auto Parts Store in Honolulu HI

My volvo 960 1997 wagon at times won't start. when I try to start it, it's like the battery is completely dead, but the battery is fine. what is making it do this ?

Depends on your definition of completely dead.
Do the lights work, but no crank ?
Can you jump start the car ?
A mechanic would check for voltage at the battery, the starter, the neutral safety switch, and the key switch, along with the ground connections to the engine.

Service light stays on for a minute every time u start it

This service light is kicked on at a specified interval so you bring it in for a dealer service/oil change. Located to the left of the speedometer is a rubber plug remove that plug and push the button located underneath it. This will reset it for the next service interval.

'93 Volvo 960 wagon starts with a shot of ether and continues to run fine; however, will not start without ether (just cranks). Any ideas?

if diesel it is caused by low compression, rebuild it or live with it
if gas you may have a air leak, vaccum line open, or choke not operating

does it start easy after it is at operating temperature
??

We have a 95 Volvo 960 wagon and when the heater is turned on it drains the engine coolant and then the coolant light comes on??

You have a coolant leak past the heater valve in the hose or in the heater core. It must be dripping to the road and not in the floor or you would notice the wet floor.
