What do you do if your 1984 Volvo 240 DL still won't start after you have replaced the starter and thermostat checked the ground wires and it has gas?

I'm having the same problem ? Do you have spark. It not try ignition harness you will also need to replace control module and impulse sender. You can get qaulity harnesses at http://www.linkline.com/personal/dbarton/WireHarnesses.html#OrderingHarnesses if you have a spark, try checking the fuel pump relay under dash on passenger side. a quick way to bypass the relay is to jump the #5 fuse and # 14 fuse...if you do it right you will hear the pump start. If that does it, you need a new relay.

97 Ford F150 you hear clicking when you try to start it Battery checked good starter solenoid replaced ground wire replaced rebuilt starter and checked good What else can be wrong?
battery need to be at lease 14 volts to be able to start
What causes a starter fuse to blow on a 04 expedition?
Over load in circuit? Remove starter and have it checked at auto parts for excessive current draw Dead short to ground in circuit? Over load in circuit? Remove starter and have it checked at auto parts for excessive current draw Dead short to ground in circuit?
Jeep Cherokee will not start without a scew driver jumping the ground wire to the starter?
Sounds like starter solenoid needs to be replaced
Why won't my car start I just had the battery checked and had a new alternator installed It started twice after having the alternator replaced but it will not start now?
If the engine doesn't turn over at all there are a few things that are possible. Start with the battery ground cable and make sure it is making a good ground and is not broken. Also check the positive cable from the battery to make sure you have a good connection and no breaks in the wire. If these are both good you may need to replace the starter motor. There are brushes inside the starter (yes they can be replaced if you know how to take the starter apart) that will grind down to the point of not making enough contact to start your car. Since you said you had the alternator replaced I'm thinking it probably is the starter because any competent mechanic would have checked the battery cables before replacing the alternator.
Why does energizing the starter solenoid cause a dead short on the battery and is there any circuit protection - 1982 Buick Regal?
No,there is no circuit protection between the battery and the starter. If the starter is causing a dead short to ground, there is definitely something wrong with the starter. Pull it and have it checked. The switch that engages the high current is inside the starter. If the starter is fried and perhaps something melted to ground, every time you engage it you will get a dead short.
Riding mower Craftsman model 917.271013 Mower keeps blowing 30 amp fuse next to solenoid I have replaced the ignition plugs checked all the wires and I did spliceg a couple of worn wirers?
It sounds like maybe your starter might be shorted out - a wire could be touching the casing somewhere or it could be something worn in the starter that is letting something go to ground inside. Unhook starter and try putting the fuse in and turn the key if it blows the fuse in is not the starter.
Where is the ground wire for a Chevy 305 starter?
The Chevy starter does not have a ground wire, the starter grounds through the starter casing.
Bronco won't start one click is all you get. starter is good. replaced solenoid and alternator. still the same problem. cleaned up all connections and terminals. what else could it be?
Are you sure the battery has enough juice (13.5volts)? Is the engine locked up? Try turning the motor by hand. If the engine is not seized, take the starter off and bench test it. Recheck your negative battery cable, a very good chance your problem lies there. The same thing happened to my 1995 full size bronco today. I took the battery cables off cleaned each one, and still the same problem. I replaced the starter, solenoid, finally noticed my ground wire from my intake to the fire wall was charred. So I checked my lower battery cable connections and my ground was not connected. I replaced my firewall ground and replaced my battery ground wire and all my problems were solved. Even my dash readings were fixed, I always had crazy readings on my dash (temp, oil pressure and amp gauge) all were fixed with the installation of my new ground wires.
You have no power from ignition Starter is good replaced ignition switch with key in on position you can jump syllinoid to starter with screwdriver and car starts no problem 1994 beretta?
Could be a faulty ground wire. Not very rare to happen
Does the Volvo 240 dl have a ground wire going to the starter?
No, the starter casing acts as the ground.
What do you do with the ground wire when installing a new thermostat that doesn't have a connection for the ground wire It's a 4 wire Honeywell thermostat Is it ok to not connect the ground wire?
That Thermostat is LOW voltage. IT does not have a ground wire. There is no need for a ground. it only opperates on 24 volts. there may be a green wire but it does not mean it is a ground
Why won't my 98 Dakota turn over Battery is fine lights radio blower motor etc all come on won't turn over won't click just dead silent?
Have you checked to see if you have power to starter? If if do then problem is in starter or solenoid. No power then check fuse in fuse box that is in the engine compartment. Check battery cables at the battery & starter. On the positive side of battery there is 2 cables (one smaller) That smaller cable goes to the starter switch then a wire goes from switch to starter. Check that you have a good ground at the starter. Check that the engine is grounded to the frame/body. That will be those wide straps on rear or sides of engine. If you raised the body or replaced the engine then a good chance that the ground has become disconnected.
