Engine starting problem

Hi out there...I have a 2000 Volvo S70 which has 96K miles and up until a month ago was running fine. Lately (though intermittent), I have problems starting the car. It sounds like it usually has sounded and like the ngine is engaged, but then it cuts off. Sometimes it will start after the secon try, and sometimes it does not happen again for a week. Yesterday, it took me 10 tries to get the car to start. Any suggestions?

Hey Lindypop,

If you have another ignition key, I would suggest trying that key and see if the problem persists. The key has a micro-chip in them that allows the key to work in your vehicle only, and you may be having a problem with one of your keys.

If this is the case, a fault will be stored in the engine computer. It will be a good idea to check those codes and address them as necessary, it may help to avoid getting stranded.

Good Luck!

I've had to jump my 2000 Volvo S80 several times past few months it was running fine shut off and dead used son battery to jump it it has been running rough ever since rough idle and surging

May have done something to the electronic ignition system. You may have to go to a Volvo Dealer to reprogram. Try a new battery first. My Ford had a dodgy battery and run rough as. A new battery, and she ran perfect again.

Transmission Service Required 2001 Volvo S60 T5

Hi,

These cars had a few issues with the transmissions. Sometimes upgrading the software and flushing the transmission will help, sometimes a new valve body will fix the problem, but often the transmission will need replacement due to internal failure.

The first step is to have a shop read out all the fault codes, read all the service bulletins and tech notes from Volvo regarding the transmission problems and then make a decision based on all of that information.

Good Luck,

Bret
