I’m back, had some info very wrong in my first attempt. The Volvo starts perfectly when cold and when it is turned off will not start again. I DOES crank over. We have to leave it for a few hours to 1/2 day then it starts up perfectly. Does anyone know where the COLD START VALVE is located or if it has a HOT START VALVE as well and the location??? Husband is trying everything short of slicing open the wire harness. We live on a small island and can’t get it to the mainland via ferry due to the fact that once it is turned off, wont start up again. Patty
