Re: Hot Start Problem

["Robert Rooney" <DMCVegas@xxxx>]

It sounds like you may have a bad thermo-time switch. A easy test for 
this is to remove the plug that goes into the switch and ground the 
wire with a jumper to fire the cold start valve (unfortunatly there 
are 2 wires, and I can't remember off hand which one to ground). If 
it is a bad switch, the engine should fire right up. On a side note: 
If the thermo time switch is found to be the culprit, then your best 
bet is to buy it thru DMC Houston. They list the switch @ $24.65 US. 
I've been to Volvo parts suppliers, and they usually demand around 
$50-60. I even called up my local Volvo dealership and they wanted 
$150!!! (I hope the dealership offers health care for it's employees. 
Because for that high a price, someone must have fallen and hit their 
head REALLY hard!)
