Our 2001 Volvo Penta will only start if we hot wire it. We have replaced the ignition ($190). We have ordered a new relay. Any other suggestions? Thanks for any help. Cindy |

Most common is bad grounding and the power relay (not the one on the starter) Some of the engines are equipped with a seperate grounding relay for start(nex to a 2 pole system) and if so check that one as well. Get a volt meter and check for 12V in the red/yellow cable all the way from ignition switch - assist relay- starter. |

My volvo 2001 After 12 years in a use Elite 30
1987 I have no idea hours etc
Started, but when I put it in gear and throttled
up it would not pick up rpm.
I tryed to bleed at the fuel filter (2nd)
and the engine died ,tryed pumping the fuel pump
and no fuel bleed out
I think it may be the fuel pump?
Any thoughts?
I belive to be blessed this is the first time I have have had any problems
Can the fuel pump be re-built
