1994 Volvo 940 died while driving (had only driven a mile). Had full gas tank, fluids checked and are good, timing chain good, all belts seem good. When try to start goes "rrr rrr" like it wants to start but won't.

Inspect your fuel line and see if it's supplying the fuel, if not then you need to check if fuel pump is working or not. if not change the fuel pump and fuel filter.
Good Luck

I suggest that you look for secondary voltage leaks from the ignition system. Moisture causes dirt to become a pathway for this spark voltage. Look inside all wire connections, for any corrosion. A scope can test this, but typically a home does not have a scope...
Your car actually has a timing belt that should be changed along with the tensioner at 70,000 Miles. In the past, I have found that the first question people ask is when was the timing belt replaced.
The same thing happened to my 94 volvo 960 the engine belt was having the same problem, i changed it the belt, it was fine for a few miles after that it just died, does not fire, not sure if it is getting fuel, but the mechanic says the timing belt went off. you may have to check the crank sensor on yours.
TAKE FRONT COVER OFF(AFTER REMOVING FAN, BELT S, PULLEY AND FAN SHROUD).THEN REMOVE CRANK SHAFT PULLEY. WHEN COVER IS REMOVED YOU'LL SEE 3 SPROKETS, SUGGEST TO BRING CRANK TO TOP DEAD CENTER UNTIL YOU SEE ALL 3 MARKS FOR THE TIMING BELT. REMOVE BELT/INSTALL NEW AND REVERSE PROCEDURE.
when was the last tune up...and check the battery make sure its not frozen just because it jumps doesnt mean it has enough power to crank even if your jump starting and check the belts
I hope you've solved the problem by now, but there are alignment marks on the crank shaft (top pulley), idler (lower side), and cam shaft (smaller, bottom pulley) which should be aligned with stationary marks on the timing belt rear cover.
The belt has marks that align with the aforementioned marks (lines). The double marks on the belt align with the camshaft marks and the single marks with the others.
Loosen the tensioner clamp (nut) to allow the spring loaded tensioner to press on the belt and retighten the nut.
Rotate the crank shaft (clockwise, probably two revolutions) and make sure the pulley marks realign to the marks on the cover (they don't have to realign with the marks on the belt).
Rotate the crank shaft a full revolution once the belt is on and check that alignment is preserved.
Periodically loosen and retension the tensioner nut (access through a hole in the cover) to ensure that tension is maintained as the belt relaxes.
