850 (1996) Won't Start

I had the same problem except with our hot (North QLD, Australia) summers,
where the car would stop and not start until it had cooled for a few
minutes.

Took the fuel pump relay out and resoldered most of the joints, now works a
charm.

So basically if your Volvo ain't starting, check the relay.

We purchased this car several months ago, and have not had any problems
until this past week when the temperature got down to -20 deg at night. The
car would not start the next morning. It was turning over easily, but
sounded like it not getting gas or spark. We pushed it into the garage and
put the heater on, thinking the problem was with moisture in the gas line /
or filter. But the most we could get was for the car to run a few seconds.
The Volvo dealer is more than a 100 miles away - so I would like to fix this
myself if possible. Any Ideas? or similar experience?
