I have attached a link with diagnostic info. Problem 5 Engine Cranks But won Start

The relay is located next to the left the of fuse box under the steering column. It is approximately 30x30x40 3 pin relay. Mr B

Good start, but be sure to double check the firing order? Looks like long plug wires? Also, did you replace the rotor in the distributor? Could also be a hair-line crack in distributor cap...be sure to add 2 bottles of liquid Heet to remove water from the tank...Hope this helps.

Possibly a bad fuse which is not allowing the power from your new alternator to make it back to the battery. Do you have alternator voltage making it to the battery when running?

Volvo did not make the 240 in 2001

You can get stop leak products at your nearest auto parts store. Ask them for suggestions about the best one for your vehicle.

Ignition module doesn't go bad often. If you are not getting spark I would check crank sensor first, they do fail often. If you have spark check fuel pump relay. That's another item that fails frequently.

My 98 said every 70k, my 2006 says every 100k. It's always better to error on the side of early though.
