My 1995 Volvo 850 will not start. I think it is the fuel pump. I tryed a procedure where I removed the fuel pump relay and jumpered the sockets for blades 85 and 15. there was no help in starting the car and I did not hear any fuel pump action. I also put a tire gadge on the shrader valve on the fuel injector rail. There was no pressure shown on the gage. Is there any way to further test the gas tank fuel pump pror to changing it out?

call a napa or other parts store, ask them for the pump for each model and see if its the same par number ,,,, never mind I just did it for you,, at auto zone they are the same part the 2.3 and 2.4 all the motors have the same thing , from 93 to 2000 so your in luck,, better yet, Its 175.99 so there ya go

well your problem could be your alternator that die or might be your gas line that frose if its cold where you live good luck

Are you getting absolutely no gas? If so then Id check the fuel pump fuse/relay. See if your getting power. If you are see if your getting a ground to the fuel pump. If your getting low pressure then a restriction such as a clogged fuel filter or kinked line could do it. Inspect your fuel lines physically, and take the hose off from the rear of the fuel filter and see if gas comes out with the key in position 2. If you get nothing then you definitely have a pump issue. A common fault with these cars is the relay overexcites the pump and eventually burns it out. Replace the fuel pump relay as well if you find the pump faulty.

Hi, The fuel pump relay for your Volvo is located in the engine compartment. The fuse and relay box on the drivers side by the windshield. The fuel pump relay is in the back ron of relays and the 3rd one in from the left. If you look inside the cover for the fuse box there is most likely a listing of the fuses and relays. Good Luck

try spraying some easy start into the air intake while someone operates the starter if it trys to start you have a fuel system fault have you checked fuel pressure at injector rail you need to do this using gauge and check against volvo spec if low it will never run if ok check feeds to injectors using multimeter if no feed check relevent fuses if ok using multimeter check continuety of injector wireing back to ecu if it did not try to start using easy start check timing belt is ok and engine has compression

check the crank position switch

It sounds like your fuel pump is having a problem with getting the last of the fuel from your tank. The pump also has a strainer on it. The unfortunate reality with the 1993 Volvo 850 is that the pump and strainer are located inside of your gas tank. You can look for kinks or pinched areas in the line but from your description it sounds like the pump is going. It has to work much harder when the fuel is low in the tank.

Did you replace hoses to eliminate the codes?? Try checking all the fuses for a start then check for any ignition sparks then try to listen to the fuel pump activation on IGN and STRT as well just try to go step by step and eliinate the different components as you go. Good luck.

My 1994 850 Volvo did the same thing and it was the Throttle Position Sensor
