Car was starting perfectly, then it became difficult to start, then stopped completely. Currently, motor turns over, but will not start. Have replaced ignition coil. Alvin ---

The no-start could be caused by a faulty crank sensor. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/3/9/39645b10a9cc327c1f8028ab5f92f3daa1644ad5.jpeg) Tester ---

I agree with Tester. My experience with a failing Volvo crank sensor was that the insulation disintegrated and the shielding chaffed off the wire. Mine failed on a weekend trip and I was able to slip a wire loom cover over the lead and it served to get the car home.
